Ukraine's military is taking credit for a blast that may have killed hundreds of Russian conscripts in Ukraine's far east in the first minutes of the new year. Russia's Defense Ministry corroborated the reports on Monday, but only claimed 63 deaths.
Officials in the so-called "Donetsk People's Republic," a part of Ukraine that Russia illegally annexed in September, expressed public outrage at the attack, placing blame on Moscow for grouping so many soldiers in one place.
Both sides say the strike took place in Makiivka, a suburb east of Donetsk, a major Ukrainian city that has been under Russian control since 2014, but the details of what exactly happened are murky. Western journalists are unable to enter the area, and therefore depend on both Russian and Ukrainian sources for information.

..."RIA Novosti, a Russian state-owned media organization, reported that two of the six missiles fired by the Ukrainian military were shot down.
Contrasting reports came in from both Russian and Ukrainian sources. A former Russian paramilitary commander, Igor Girkin, suggested the attacks were severe.
Girkin said in a post on Telegram that “many hundreds” were dead and wounded and that the building temporarily housing the Russian troops was “almost completely destroyed.”
The strike on the city of Makeyevka continues already intense fighting in the Donetsk region, which is one of the four areas that Russia illegally annexed in October. The reports of the attack come as Ukrainian officials also said Monday that Ukraine had destroyed 40 exploding Russian drones that were headed for Kyiv overnight."

I feel sad for these conscripts. Russia doesn't want to admit they are hitting civilian Targets on purpose. Watch for Vladimir Putin to claim that ukrainians are committing war crimes.
When Vladimir Putin mentioned the partial mobilization, to Ukrainian customers of mine said that they believe it was a full mobilization and that the media was only telling half the truth.
Let us not forget that Russians found any way to get out of the country by car by playing or even by sailboat period some try to go to South Korea but those people were turned back.
