According to Ukrainian sources, 500 Russian troops were killed and wounded in the Kherson region. Only on Monday, Kiev reported an attack against the Russian occupiers in eastern Ukraine that left hundreds dead. Moscow confirmed this attack, but not the numbers.
The Russian defense ministry only admitted on Monday the deaths of 63 recruits. They were reportedly killed in a Ukrainian attack on a temporary shelter in the town of Makiyevka, in the Donetsk region. Ukrainian and Russian military bloggers, on the other hand, spoke of several hundred casualties.
Medvedev: enemy not a “fool”
On Tuesday, the Ukrainian army reported the next artillery strike against Russian soldiers. This time, 500 were reported killed and injured near the village of Chulavika, south of Kherson. It should be noted that both combatants often report large losses to the enemy and that the information cannot be independently verified. In any case, the deputy chairman of the Moscow parliament, Andrei Medvedev, said that the enemy would see something. To regard the enemy as a fool who sees nothing is dangerous and criminal ten months after the start of the war.
Funeral service and donations in kind for next of kin
A funeral service has already been held in Samara for the fallen soldiers in Makiivka. Many of the recruits would come from here. According to reports, the speakers spoke out in favor of continuing the war. On the popular Russian platform VKontakte, the population was asked to collect clothes, medicines and equipment for the survivors of the attack.
So far, Russian President Vladimir Putin has not publicly commented on the rocket attack in Makiivka. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu was ordered to prepare a report on the state of equipment and possible measures to strengthen the Russian army. Putin also instructed the Defense Ministry to help Russian filmmakers make documentaries about the invasion of Ukraine and the fight against “neo-Nazi” ideology.
