LONDON — The U.S. Defense Department reportedly revealed its conclusion on Friday that the Russian Black Sea Fleet flagship Moskva sank after being struck by two Ukraine-launched missiles, while Britain’s defense ministry said the loss of the ship will likely force Moscow to change the way its naval forces operate in the Black Sea. The reason for the Moskva’s sinking had been in dispute. Ukraine said it struck the vessel with missiles, while Moscow acknowledged a fire on board but not any attack.
