Newly published video shows Russian admiral being asked about Sevastopol attack
From CNN’s Katharina Krebs
New video of Russian Admiral Viktor Sokolov shows him being asked by a reporter about last week's Sevastopol attack, in which he was alleged to have been killed, offering the strongest proof yet he is alive.
In the video, published on Telegram Wednesday by Russian state news agency TASS,
a reporter can be heard asking: "Could you please tells us in a few words what happened to reassure Sevastopol residents?"
Sokolov then replies, “Nothing happened to us, life goes on. The Black Sea Fleet is carrying out the tasks assigned to it by the command."
Ukraine claimed on Monday that Sokolov had been killed in a strike on the Black Sea Fleet headquarters in Sevastopol, Crimea, last week, along with 33 other officers.
Two other videos of Sokolov had been shared by the Russian military in the past two days, but neither gave firm indication of when they had been filmed.
