Russian soldiers’ use of mobile phones gave away their location, claimed Vladimir Putin ’s defence chiefs, as the death toll from a Ukrainian missile attack rises to 89.
Putin's top brass has come under increasing scrutiny after at least 89 Russian soldiers, and possibly many more, were killed in a Ukrainian artillery attack on a single building in Makiivka.
Hundreds of Russian troops were reportedly in the building on the front line, well within the reach of Ukraine's artillery, and possibly close to an ammunition store.
