Russia claims to kill 600 Ukrainian troops in ‘retaliatory strike’ in Kramatorsk

Moscow says its army has conducted a “retaliatory strike” in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk to avenge the deaths of 89 Russian troops killed in Makiivka.

“More than 600 Ukrainian servicemen were killed” as a result of a strike on Kyiv troops stationed in two buildings in Kramatorsk, the Russian defense ministry says in a statement.

The report cannot immediately be verified.
