However, the Chinese ship started to sink on the way. According to the report, in a period of almost 24 hours, Russian navy officers and soldiers onboard the cruiser watched the sinking boat and did not make any response to the cries for help from the crewmen.
почти 24 часа русские офицеры и матросы на борту крейсера наблюдали за тонущим кораблем и не отвечали на крики о помощи тонущей команды.
