The sinking of a Russian flagship inspired a new song from a Ukrainian rocker

The sinking of the Russian Black Sea flagship Moskva by a couple of Ukrainian Neptune missiles is seen as a huge morale-boosting victory by Ukraine, something that’s being celebrated as a big F-U (another one) across the country.

Vadym Krasnooky is the lead singer of Mad Heads, one of Ukraine’s most popular rock bands, which has been around for at least 25 years. On Saturday (April 16) he debuted an acoustic version of a new song called “Cruise Moskva” at a press conference in Lviv. Some of the lyrics are “Oh the ship, oh the ship, Moskva burn! Burn! Burn in hell forever.”
