UPDATED. Russian military bloggers say the huge destruction was a result of storing ammunition in the same building as a barracks, despite commanders knowing it was within range of Ukrainian rockets.
MAKIIVKA, Ukraine – Russian nationalists and some lawmakers have demanded punishment for commanders they accused of ignoring dangers as anger grew over the killing of dozens of Russian soldiers in one of the deadliest strikes of the Ukraine conflict.
Ukraine and some Russian nationalist bloggers have put the Makiivka death toll in the hundreds, though pro-Russian officials say those estimates are exaggerated. “There is an increase in the use of drones in all directions,” he said, adding that Ukraine’s armed forces were organizing mobile groups to hunt them down, using jeeps and other vehicles equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns and search lights.Russia’s Defense Ministry did not mention Makiivka in its daily bulletin on Tuesday but announced several offensives, including strikes launched by Russian Aerospace Forces that it said had killed more than 130 foreign mercenaries in Donetsk.
Elsewhere, Ukraine’s military General Staff said a December 31 strike on a Russian-held area of the southern Kherson region had killed or injured some 500 Russian troops.Reuters footage showed a team of Ukrainian volunteers known as “Black Tulip” exhuming dead soldiers’ bodies near the front line in Donetsk region.
Igor Girkin, a former commander of pro-Russian troops in eastern Ukraine who is now one of the highest-profile Russian nationalist military bloggers, said hundreds had been killed or wounded. Military equipment stored at the site was uncamouflaged, he said.
