According to the global news agency Reuters, this claim of the Russian Ministry of Defense could not be confirmed immediately, and Ukraine did not immediately comment on the Russian claim.
However, the mayor of the town of Krematursk in eastern Ukraine said through a Facebook post that the Russian army has attacked various buildings in the city, but no one was killed.
If this claim of the Russian Ministry of Defense is correct, then this will be the biggest loss of life of Ukrainian soldiers since the Russian attack on February 24 last year.
