Ukraine said the strike that put a large hole in the main building of the headquarters had wounded 105 people.
Russia initially said one serviceman was killed but quickly retracted that statement and said the person was missing.The Ministry of Defence, however, posted video on Tuesday showing Mr Sokolov among other senior officers attending a video conference with Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu. Mr Sokolov did not speak in the clip shown.
Ukraine’s Special Operation Forces posted a statement on Tuesday saying its sources claimed Mr Sokolov was among the dead, many of whom had not yet been identified. It said it was trying to verify the claim after the video surfaced. Mr Sokolov was shown speaking to journalists about the Black Fleet’s operations in a video posted on a news channel linked to the Russian Defence Ministry. It was not clear when the video was recorded. The video did not contain any mention of the Ukrainian attack on fleet headquarters.
Ms Zakharova’s statements follow comments made on Tuesday by Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy head of Russia’s Security Council, who said the arrival of American-made Abrams tanks in Ukraine and a US promise to supply an unspecified number of long-range ATACMS missiles would push Natp closer to a direct conflict with Russia.
