The destroyed Russian ship “Novocherkask” is planned to be raised from the bottom of the port of Feodosia and cut up.

The relatives of the “missing” sailors were informed about these plans, “Crimean wind” reports.

It also became known that DNA samples were taken from the relatives of sailors who were on the Russian ship “Novocherkask” at the time of the explosion.

“They were informed of disappointing forecasts: after lifting the remains of the ship to land, it will be carefully cut up, which will take about three months. Then the discovered remains of servicemen will be compared with the DNA taken. In the best case, all procedures will take half a year,” the message reads.
