The distress in question? The front fell off.

Also, these weren't Russian cargo ships. They're Russian oil tankers built for river service that were used in the open ocean due to sanctions. Sinking them is a major success of sanctions; hopefully more will sink cutting off Russia's illegal oil exports. Luckily the oil slick is moving towards Russia too.

Du reißt mit dem Arsch ein, was du mit den Händen aufgebaut hast.
So much is happening in that part of the world, I'm struggling to keep up.
...and this week a Russian cargo ship, Ursa Major, has sunk in the Mediterranean after an explosion in the engine room. Four Russian ships sunk in two weeks. 😂
It was carrying port cranes to Vladivostok, as well as critical parts for an under construction Russian icebreaker. I'd give you a 90% chance this was sabotage.

The cranes:
Those cranes would have moved a lot of cargo; Vladivostok has capacity issues.
Also good news, two crew members are missing, likely dead, which will hopefully discourage future crews from sailing for Russia.
