Ukraine's taken responsibility for a New Year's Eve attack on a Russian military barracks in a suburb of the eastern city of Donetsk. Moscow says 63 of its soldiers were killed. FRANCE 24's correspondent in Kyiv Luke Shrago tells us more.
At least 63 Russian soldiers have reportedly been killed after an attack on a deployment centre in the occupied Donetsk region.
The Russian military claimed Sunday to have carried out deadly missile strikes on barracks used by Ukrainian troops in retaliation for the deaths of dozens of Russian soldiers in a rocket attack a week ago. Ukrainian officials denied there were any casualties.
Russia on Monday said more than 60 soldiers were killed in a Ukrainian strike on Russian-controlled territory in a bloody New Year's weekend for both sides of the conflict. Kyiv took responsibility for the strike which it said took place in the occupied city of Makiivka in eastern Ukraine on December 31. FRANCE 24's International Affairs Editor Philip Turle tells us more.
Advisor to Ukrainian President Zelensky, Oleksiy Arestovych, says that the commander of the Russian Eighth Army, Russian General Andrei Mordvichev, was killed at the Chornobaivka airfield near Kherson. The Ukrainian Presidency claims the general was killed by strikes on an airfield just north of Crimea, saying he was the fifth top-ranking officer killed since the invasion began on February 24.
