Background:
- Earlier, the Strategic Communications Department of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (StratCom) reported that about 400 mobilised Russians were killed and about 300 more invaders were wounded with varying degrees of severity in a precision strike on Makiivka on New Year’s Eve. It was noted that the Russian soldiers had been stationed in the building of a local vocational school, No. 19.
- Igor Girkin (Strelkov), a Russian terrorist and former so-called "Minister of Defence of the Donetsk People’s Republic", confirmed that a large number of Russian servicemen had been killed in occupied Makiivka, adding that something like this could happen again.
- The Russian Ministry of Defence confirmed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine killed a group of Russian servicemen in the temporarily occupied city of Makiivka, Donetsk Oblast, but is claiming that the losses are much smaller than those reported by StratCom.
- Russia officially admitted that 63 occupiers died in Makiivka.
