In Makeevka, Donetsk region, Russia suffered one of the largest losses during the war in Ukraine. It is reported by The New York Times in his article.
The authors drew attention to the unusual statement of the Russian Ministry of Defense about “63 dead” during the attack. However, the article says, “you cannot check the exact” number of dead. At the same time, “even the smallest amount would be one of the largest losses in Russia for one episode of the war.”
The publication notes that a number of Russian bloggers and propagandists and some officials accuse the Russian military in this failure. Russian deputies urge to bring to the criminal liability of the perpetrators.
The publication also cites Igor Strelkov-Girkin’s statements that the building of the vocational school in Makeevka was destroyed with all the military equipment that stood nearby due to the detonation of ammunition.
