Russian air strikes kill 200 Ukranian soldiers, special trainee forces
More than 200 local Ukrainian troops and foreign mercenaries, have been killed after Russia’s air strikes hit a Ukrainian special forces training center on Sunday
Russia’s Ministry of Defense confirmed on Sunday that a Ukrainian Special Operations Forces training center near the town of Ovruch in the northern Zhytomyr Region, which hosted the mercenaries, was targeted by “high-precision air-launched missiles.”
Igor Konashenkov, the ministry’s spokesman said during a briefing that the airstrikes had eliminated more than 200 Ukrainian special ops troops and foreign soldiers of fortune, he added.
Periscope International recalls that Russia had last week destroyed another mercenary base at the Yavoriv range in the western Lviv region, saying that up to 180 foreign fighters were killed there.
