"Fantastic Things": The Navy said that Russia had done with ships captured in Crimea

According to the spokesman of the Navy Dmitry Pletenchuk, the Russian invaders were robbed for 9 years, "Konstantin Olshansky", and then eventually decided to rename it as a restoration of the VDK "Minsk". During the illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014, Russia seized all Ukrainian ships and looted them. This was reported by a spokesman for the Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Dmitry Pletenchuk in an interview with "Public Crimea".

"They looted them as far as it was possible because they could periodically see ships of similar projections. Even if ships were not similar to the projections - there were many components that were unitary systems in Soviet. , and much more, "Pletenchuk said. He added that some ships were used as targets for firing, others were cut, and "with some ships, fantastic things happen. " In particular, the Navy of the Armed Forces mentioned the large landing ship (VDK) "Konstantin Olshansky".

He says that for nine years, the occupiers took everything they could, but later realized that it would be easier to restore him than the VDK of the same project. They informally renamed Olshansky to Minsk and Sell it to their internal audience as the restoration of the VDK "Minsk". "But it did not happen as it thought - it was damaged during an attempt to start running tests after repair," Pletenchuk said.
