The Ministry of Defense of the aggressor country stated that the terrorist shelling of Kramatorsk was "revenge for the vocational training center in Makiivka", where it was possible to eliminate many invaders.

The Armed Forces called Russia's statements a lie. 

Serhiy Cherevaty, the spokesman of the Eastern Group of Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said this in a comment to Suspilno. 

The terrorist Ministry of Defense said that it fired at two hostels in Kramatorsk, where soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were allegedly staying.

The occupiers boasted of killing "600 Ukrainian soldiers".

The Armed Forces deny this information. 

"This information is as true as the data that they destroyed all our HIMARS. This is an information operation of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in response to the successful actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to attack their large concentrations of personnel, their warehouses, and logistics with our high-precision attack systems. They do not have such an opportunity," Cherevaty said.

We will remind you that on the evening of January 7, just on Christmas Day, during the so-called "truce", Russian terrorists shelled Kramatorsk in Donetsk region.

There they damaged an educational institution and residential buildings.

What is known about the liquidation of the occupiers in Makiivka 

On New Year's Eve, the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked the vocational training center in Makiivka, where they brought the Russian invaders who were supposed to storm Bakhmut.

However, HIMARS adjusted the invaders' plans. 

The so-called Russian "soldiers" began to shout that many invaders had been eliminated with this strike.

The number of dead may be several hundred.

Later, the occupying Ministry of Defense recognized the successful actions of the Armed Forces and accused the Russians of allegedly using mobile phones. 

A video was published on the Internet in which the occupier who survived in Makiivka admits that the attack took place after the Russians were forced to listen to dictator Putin's New Year's greeting.
