Ukraine news latest: Putin claims to have ‘killed 600 Ukrainian soldiers in revenge attack’ as tyrant’s losses mount

RUSSIA’S Ministry of Defence has claimed that “600 Ukrainian servicemen were killed” in revenge for a deadly attack on Putin’s forces. The attack was on two buildings temporarily housing 1,300 Ukrainian troops in in eastern Ukraine. “As a result of a massive missile strike on these temporary deployment points of Ukrainian army units, more than 600 Ukrainian servicemen were destroyed,” the defence ministry said. Despite the claim, the mayor of Kramatorsk, the eastern Ukrainian town Russia said it had targeted, said earlier that nobody had been killed in an attack on various buildings in the city. This comes as Russian losses continue to soar, with Kremlin casualties surpassing 110,000 in the last 24 hours. Read our Ukraine war blog below for the latest news…
