Russia Admiral Sokolov Not Dead, Video Suggests, Despite Ukraine Claim
Russia's Defence Ministry has released a video showing the Black Sea Fleet's commander at a conference, despite Ukraine claiming to have killed him.
It's not clear when the footage, where Viktor Sokolov appears on a video link with the defence minister, was filmed.
The ministry said the meeting with senior officials happened yesterday.
Ukraine Special Forces said on Monday Adm Sokolov and thirty three other officers died in a missile strike on the fleet's HQ in Sevastopol, occupied Crimea.
They did not name the admiral directly, nor did they offer any evidence that he had died.
