We are not currently shutting down the ship’s engine, it is running constantly because we do not know what will happen if we restart the electronics. The situation is complicated. This was said by the captain of the ship “Tsarevna” Pavel Pavlov, who gave his first interview in front of a camera since the vessel was blocked in Ukraine after the war.
The footage was spread by the Russian state military channel Zvezda on social networks, bTV clarifies.
The video report shows what the ship, which is located in the port of Mariupol, looks like.
The captain and four other crew members remain on board.
Some of the Bulgarians who returned to Bulgaria on Monday said that fierce fighting had taken place around the ship and shells had fallen in the immediate vicinity.
