(Reuters) – The Kremlin said on Monday that it was confident its defence ministry was correct when it said that 600 Ukrainian servicemen had been “destroyed” in an attack on town of Kramatorsk, despite reporting which showed the attack missed its goal.
“The Kremlin has absolute confidence, I would love to remind you of the President’s words that the essential source of data is the Ministry of Defence”, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters in a each day briefing.
A Russian missile attack on the Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk missed its targets and there have been no obvious signs of casualties, a Reuters reporter said on Sunday, after Moscow claimed the strike had killed 600 Ukrainian soldiers.
