russian army cremating dead to hide losses – AFU

The local crematorium in the village of Krasna Zorka, on the temporarily occupied peninsula of Crimea, was ordered to cremate the dead invaders.

Rubryka reports, referring to the Facebook statement of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, that the russians use burning to hide the number of dead, concealing their losses in its war with Ukraine.

"Near the local crematorium, there is a continuous line of military vehicles numbering up to 10 units. The occupiers use these trucks to bring dead russian servicemen and mercenaries," the military command reported.

The General Staff also reported that the cremation of the dead occupiers in Krasna Zorka is carried out around the clock. At the same time, the crematorium does not provide services to civilians.

According to Ukrainian military intelligence, the russian invaders have actively used mobile crematoria due to heavy losses in the war against Ukraine in the year of the invasion.

Thus, to hide the number of dead occupiers on the territory of the Prydniprovska Biotes enterprise in the city of Tokmak, Zaporizhzhia region, which is currently occupied by the russian forces, the russian invaders set up a mobile crematorium.

"Locals complain of a constant corpse stench in the southeastern part of the city, especially at night," the General Staff reported.

As it was reported, in the last 24 hours, the Ukrainian armed forces successfully repelled attacks by the russian army in the areas of more than 20 settlements in the Kharkiv region, Luhansk region, and Donetsk region.

Since the full-scale russian aggression began in February 2022, the Ukrainian armed forces eliminated 139,700 russian service members. In the last 24 hours, the russian losses have been almost 700 troops, according to the AFU command.
