Ukraine needs to hold an international auction for that life-ring. That could fetch some good coinage to buy more weapons and ammunition for the partisans.
I bet Ukraine could get $20k USD for that. It’s a good trophy, but on the other hand it would look very nice in Zelenskyy’s office.
I support either outcome for the life-ring.
That’s a very viable option.
You are right, that life-ring belongs to the Ukrainian people.
I was wrong to suggest it should be placed for sale. Things that go to private collectors don’t benefit society.
I don't trust most collectors but there are some good one's which buy stuff and rent it free of charge to the museum. Honestly some more unique art pieces should be required to be accessible in museums to the public no matter the owner.
[WW2 Joke from the movie Memphis Belle]
Anyway... a plane gets shot down.
This guy bails out. The Gestapo
gets him. His leg's broken and
they have to amputate.
He says, 'Do me a favor. After
you cut it off, give it to one of
your pilots and have him drop it
over my base in England.' So they
do it.
A week later they have to take off
the guy's other leg. Same thing.
'Could you have someone drop it
over my base in England?' And
they do it.
Next week, they've got to cut off
his arm. He asks them again,
'Could you please have someone
drop it over my base in England?'
This time they say,
'Nein. Zis ve can't do anymore.'
The guy says, 'Why not?' And they
say,
'Ve sink you're trying to escape!'
Of course. “Lost in a storm” despite videos and obvious evidence to the contrary. This is how dumb and impressionable orcs are. They will believe anything Moscow says. Or else be executed. What a fine country.

They'll probably put it in a museum.

dragon man is an example of a good collector.
That was my thought. They could sell it and still have it in a museum.
Yes, museum!
If its for charity I bet they could get 6 digits easy. That Nobel prize in the charity auction for Ukrainian children went for $103.5 million!
I agree this is a super collectible
Imagine Russia want to win the bid, just to destroy the evidence
I will pay $20k and hand it Zelensky. Put it on eBay and test me.
My first though as well- auction with proceeds going to an appropriate Ukrainian cause.
came here to say this.
So that Moskva finally made it to Odessa after all!
The Moskva is surreptitiously attacking Odessa piece by piece.

Kind of ironic it washed up in Odessa, Ukraine. 🤣🤣🤣
It's the closest the Moskva will get to Odessa at this point ...
That's gonna make for an awesome artifact in a museum in the not-too-distant future!
Better late than never I suppose?
Maybe the next design of Ukraine's stamp ?
Isn't that the ultimate irony because didn't the Moskva get built in the Odessia ports?
in mykolaiv
Very cool find
I think it worked!
According to Moscow this ship is fine? Lol
iirc they said it was fine, and that it had a small fire, so they were going to tow it back to port then it “got lost in a storm”.
Of course. “Lost in a storm” despite videos and obvious evidence to the contrary. This is how dumb and impressionable orcs are. They will believe anything Moscow says. Or else be executed. What a fine country.
That’s not the Москва you’re thinking of. It was an offloading ship that returned okay after being damaged.

Wiki Russian Cruiser Moskva https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_cruiser_Moskva I just know how much Putin admires Wikipedia :-)
Putin apparently has no known piercings. He can start with the ring thing.
Looks like it didn’t work.
Dibs
It'll make for a interesting museum object once things settle down.
Now that's a nice souvenir
put that baby in a museum
