As Kyiv forces attacked a camp in eastern Ukraine using Himars Rocket Systems provided by the US, 63 Russian soldiers were killed, the Russian defense ministry reported on Monday.
Ukraine’s military reported that a strike on the town of Makiivka in the Moscow-controlled portion of the eastern region of Donetsk resulted in a much higher death toll. They did not claim responsibility for the attack. The strike took place in the town of Makiivka, located in the Moscow-controlled portion of the eastern region of Donetsk.
“A statement from the defense ministry said that four missiles carrying high-explosive warheads hit a temporary deployment position and killed 63 Russian soldiers.”
The relatives and loved ones of the departed servicemen would receive “all the required help and support,” according to the military ministry.
The declaration of Russian losses in Ukraine was particularly unusual in the statement.
“Although it is thought that Ukrainian forces struck as Russian forces rang in the New Year, the defense ministry did not disclose the timing of the attack.”
The fight has gone on since President Vladimir Putin gave the order for Russian soldiers to invade on February 24 of last year, and this was the most significant death toll that the Russian side has reported so far.
“Kremlin detractors accuse Russian officials of understating their casualties in the Ukrainian conflict.”
“A former Russian separatist leader, Igor Strelkov, said that he received a report about the strike at about 1 am on January 1 (2200 GMT on December 31).” He is a former Russian separatist leader.
“He stated that “hundreds” have been killed and injured, and the Ukrainian army also attacked a building housing mobilized troops.”
New Russian attacks on January
“Russian airstrikes killed at least five people in different regions of Ukraine on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.”
On Monday, the Ukrainian military made a claim. They claimed that air defenses shot down most of the Iranian-made drones that targeted the Ukrainian capital again. “Someone made this claim on Monday.”
“Vitali Klitschko, the mayor of Kyiv, reported an explosion in the city’s northeast and sent emergency services.”
“Someone hospitalized a 19-year-old male in the capital’s Desnyanskyi area,” he said.
“According to authorities, someone struck him later with the flying debris.”
Ukrenergo is a power utility. They stated that the situation with Kyiv’s electrical supply is now “more problematic” due to the strikes. “The power utility shared this information.”
An advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a claim. He claimed that Russia’s New Year attacks demonstrated a change in strategy. These attacks targeted large cities’ downtown areas.
Mykhailo Podolyak tweeted. In his tweet, he said that Russia no longer has any military objectives and is seeking to murder as many civilians as possible and damage additional civilian facilities. He shared this information in a tweet.”A killing war.”
