More than 60 Russian troops have been killed by a Ukrainian missile strike, Moscow confirmed on Monday. The bombardment hit a temporary housing area used by the Russian forces in Donbass.
The facility in the city of Makeyevka in Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic was targeted by six missiles from US-supplied HIMARS multiple rocket launchers, the Defense ministry said. Two projectiles were intercepted by air defenses, but four made it through, the statement added.
“As a result of a strike by four missiles with high-explosive warheads on a temporary deployment point, 63 Russian servicemen were killed,” Defense Ministry spokesman Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov said during a briefing.
All necessary assistance and support will be provided to the families of the fallen troops, the ministry assured.
The strike was earlier reported by the Donetsk People’s Republic’s Information Minister Daniil Bezsonov, who said the missiles targeted the building of a vocational school where the troops were stationed. It happened precisely at 0:01 am on New Year’s night, while the serviceman were celebrating, he added.
This type of strike could not have happened without American assistance.
There will undoubtedly be retaliation for this as such a high amount of dead soldiers is not going to be good for domestic public relations back in Russia.
Hopefully they are almost ready to launch a major offensive. They should send in a million men into the Ukraine if needed. They need to put this evil Jew-run satanic regime that’s in Kiev permanently out of business. NATO and the West in general have said they plan to pour unlimited resources into this, so Russia really needs to start getting serious. Maybe this event will be the wake up call they need to finish the job.
