Luhansk region: Enemy trying to conceal losses in Khrustalnyi after Ukraine’s strike

"In the town of Khrustalnyi, in the temporarily occupied territory of Luhansk region, a unit of the occupying forces was settled in the Krasnyi Luch hotel. But after fire damage was inflicted on the location, the enemy did not publish information about the losses. Instead, a set of measures aimed at concealing the fact of the death and injury of their servicemen was taken," the Chief Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reports.

The Directorate notes that most of the injured had been immediately transported to a military hospital in Rostov-on-Don by civilian cars.

"Having eliminated all traces of the effective strike of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the enemy began to spread actively disinformation in the mass media, the Internet and messengers claiming that all the occupiers had managed to leave the hotel in advance and nobody was," the statement reads.

As reported, the Armed Forces of Ukraine eliminated about 41,170 Russian sdiers from February 24 to August 2.
