Details: Russian propagandist media are claiming that allegedly "The Armed Forces of Ukraine targeted the barracks where captured Ukrainian soldiers are being held."

Kremlin-aligned Russian media outlet RIA Novosti with reference to militants writes that the number of those killed has increased to 53, with another 75 injured.

The Russians write that the Armed Forces of Ukraine hit the colony to kill prisoners who had "begun to testify." What exactly the "testimony" is about is unknown.
