It was the fearful, quickly muttered expression of defiance that has become Ukraine&s unofficial national motto.
&Russian warship, go f**k yourself,& a border guard told missile cruiser Moskva on the first day of the war when asked to surrender.
Now, it has done just that.
According to the Russian ministry of defence, the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet sank last night after a fire caused munitions on board to explode.
The cause of the sinking, it said, was being investigated.
The terse announcement came some hours after Maksym Marchenko, the governor of Ukraine&s Odessa region, announced the ship had been hit by two Neptune anti-ship missiles and had &gone exactly where it was told to&.
&It is burning,& Oleksiy Arestovich, an adviser to president Volodymyr Zelensky, told an interviewer at about the same time.
Details of the Moskva&s last action are sparse, but the loss of the flagship is a significant blow to Russia&s operations in the Black Sea.
