The unmanned craft was due to make a soft landing on the Moon's south pole, but failed after encountering problems as it moved into its pre-landing orbit.
It was Russia's first Moon mission in almost 50 years.
Russia has been racing to the Moon's south pole against India, whose Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft is scheduled to land on there next week.
No country has ever landed on the south pole before, although both the US and China have landed softly on the Moon's surface.
No report on whether or not Russia was attempting to use repurposed anti-ship missiles like the ones they use to attack schools and hospitals here on Earth.
You can set a trap for libs by getting them to say that Azov is defending their homeland, can hide where they want, and Russia is a war criminal for attacking their hiding places.
Agree with them, and then start talking about how the same also applies to Hamas and Israel is an even bigger war criminal.
