The headquarters of the vocational training school were reduced to mountains from debris and left hundreds from dead. On this, however, and as from the beginning of the war, there are different versions regarding the number of Russian casualties. According to him Ukrainian Ministry of DefenseThey were 400 the dead in the ranks of Moscow, which would mean one of the most devastating attacks suffered by the enemy army.

“What happened in Makiivka is horrible,” wrote the Russian military blogger Archangel Spetznaz Z, who again condemned: “Who came up with the idea of ​​placing so many personnel in a building, where even a fool understands that, even if they shoot with artillery, will there be many dead or wounded?
