Kherson Oblast Governor Volodymyr Saldo reported this on April 5. "It has become known that the Volgo-Balt vessel's sinking in the Sea of ​​Azov was caused by a terrorist attack by the Kyiv regime. Two days ago, on April 3, 2026, the ship, carrying wheat, was attacked by a Ukrainian drone," he wrote on Telegram. Saldo clarified that the crew abandoned ship. The sailors only reached shore in the Kherson region on April 5 and made contact. The captain was hospitalized, and the others also received medical attention. Earlier, nine sailors from a sunken vessel were found on the shore of the Sea of ​​Azov. Saldo reported that the dry cargo ship's first mate had died. Two other people are also missing, and the search for them is ongoing. President Vladimir Putin previously noted that Ukrainian military forces are deliberately targeting civilians in Russian regions. They are also attempting to strike civilian targets and vehicles, including ambulances and agricultural machinery. The head of state described such methods as terrorist. |
