I've heard reports of between 25k tons and around 40k tons.
I think Tass mentioned 40k tons somewhere (I'm not sure). And Tass are unlikely to be wrong?
There doesn't seem to be official confirmation anywhere.

They want you (and everybody else) to keep guessing.
I am not joking.

It's like analysing sat photos with this stuff

Thanks

So Husky would be some kind of Arctic logistics vessel?

Yes, it looks definitely like the leaked photo we saw before. But I am failing to discern the tail, which would be the most interesting part in order to confirm or deny whether it has a pusher propeller

And we already saw Minoga tail

No we didn't see it, and there are other qualified opinions thinking that it may indeed have such propeller. But we will see

Design Bureau "Sevmash" has developed bearings for universal landing ships (helicopter carriers) of project 23900 "Ivan Rogov" and "Mitrofan Moskalenko", which are being built at the plant "Zaliv" in Kerch. This was announced on Thursday, July 7, in the press service of the Severodvinsk enterprise.

The bearings will be manufactured at Sevmash. An order for their production has been opened in the machine shop No. 4, the press service of the shipyard specified. The first set is planned to be delivered to the Crimean shipyard in July 2023, the second - in 2024.

That's what escorts are supposed to do

It would be extremely idiotic to send a single ship alone into range of enemy anti-ship missiles

It might get sunk
