Russians forces are trying to deprive the families of the killed Russian troops of benefits and compensation, using mobile crematoria, according to the latest General Staff of AFU report. 

Russian troops use one of the crematoria, operating 24/7, in the territory of the occupied Berdiansk port. Currently, about 50 bodies of the dead Russian soldiers, which were recently brought from the areas of hostilities to the local morgue, are subject to cremation.

The occupiers suffer significant losses every day, which they try to hide, and continue to use the traditional Russian practice of depriving the families of the dead of benefits and compensation advertised by Russian propaganda. Mobile crematoria are actively used for this.

The General Staff states that the cremation of dead Russian servicemen is carried out without their identification and without keeping a record.

As of July 2, the enemy is focusing its main efforts on the Lyman, Bakhmut, and Marinka directions, conducting more than 30 combat engagements over the day.

The General Staff informed that during the day, the enemy carried out 22 air strikes and launched about 60 missile attacks from rocket systems at the positions of Ukrainian troops and settlements.
