Russia’s Admiral Makarov warship has been hit by Ukrainian missiles and burst into flames, according to Ukrainian officials.
The frigate would be Russia’s latest naval loss in a troubled campaign, coming after reports that US intelligence helped Ukraine locate and sink the Russian warship Moskva weeks ago.

You need to distinguish dynamics of "offensive conflicts" from "defensive conflicts."
Napolean campaign = "defensive conflict" for then Russian hemisphere.
Hitler campaign = "defensive conflict" for then USSR.
Mongols showed that Russian hemisphere can be overrun and Russians can be defeated in their home-turf.
Hitler was up against both US-led forces in the West and the USSR in the East - the odds were not in his favor since 1942.
Ukraine campaign = "offensive conflict" for modern Russia and its forces can be defeated there. USSR was defeated in Afghanistan for example.
Modern Russia have significant nuclear warfare capability and there is no need to invade its mainland due to obvious reasons. Leap in technologies might provide an opening at some point in the future but Russian - Western relationship dynamics can also change over time. Time will tell.

US intel helped Ukraine sink massive Russian warship
By Jesse O’Neill

Ukrainian forces were able to sink Russian missile cruiser Moskva thanks to US intelligence, according to an official.Twitter/east2west news
US intelligence played a pivotal role in Ukraine’s attack on a flagship Russian warship last month, an American official said Thursday.
Ukraine targeted and sank the Russian missile cruiser Moskva on April 14 with its own anti-ship missiles after the US provided “a range of intelligence” that included the location of the ship in the Black Sea, the official said on the condition of anonymity.
This is true.
Ukrainians are brave and talented people who can learn and adapt to methods of warfare in less-than-expected time-spans but they were not prepared to fight Russia on their own. They began to improve their defenses after Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 but they were still taking Russia lightly.
Elon Musk have made it possible for Ukraine to subvert impact of Russian cyber warfare capabilities by providing access to his very impressive Starlink cyber network and US/NATO have provided valuable INTEL to Ukrainian forces to deliver painful blows to Russian forces when possible. Russia does not have an effective counter to this intervention.
Poor Sergei Lavrov have a point in this case.
There are a lot of lessons to learn from this conflict.

Nothing to do with Hollywood. After Ukraine Baltics and Poland would be next. Tyrants are not stopped with kindness and appeasement. Its best for Europe to cripple Russia as much as possible

You are paranoid. USSR never annexed eastern Europe. It is soft power only, just like the US, no official annexation but only soft power. You watch too much Hollywood.

The explosive charge is missing so this was likely a successfull attack.

You think along Capitalist lines. What if Russia and the world have a modular, device-level electricity source that will eliminate or drastically minimize oil and gas production ? What if Russia bans all personal vehicles ( cars and two-wheelers ) and remakes intra-city and inter-city transportation skybuses and skytaxis by using airships and provides for police, fire service etc vehicles using the cyclocar concept ? What if Russia gets its computer produced internally to some extent and in China using non-silicon or non-fully-silicon materials and different computing paradigms ? What if Russia adopts a progressive socio-economic system, better than its USSR times ?

Here in Europe states are always crying over the dangerous Russia cyberwarfare capabilities.
But Zelensky is making videocalls and posting instagram everyday and Russia didnt be able to capture him.
It would be a great prize a parade of Zelensky head 9th May. But they can't.
