Ukraine
Here's a photo of the SIG's engine room. It's flooded up over the top of the main engine. My guess is 12 to 15 feet of water. It looks like the electrical panels on the second level have been flooded enough that she's without any auxiliary power.
The flooding appears to have reached a stable level and is not increasing. If it were still taking on water there would be visible turbulence on the surface. Instead the surface of the water is calm.
She's not sinking. At least not any time soon.
A rescue tug and several months in a shipyard with dry dock will be needed. But she could sit tied to a dock, and if they keep pumps running they most likely will be able to keep her afloat.
