This was reported by the Ukrainian publication “STRANA.ua” with reference to soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

According to the data presented, the Ukrainian command knew that the Russian Armed Forces had intercepted information about the approaching landing, but did not make a decision to cancel or change the operation.

“There are slightly more dead and missing than can be seen from the photographs published by the Russians,” the publication says.

Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that this week the sabotage of the Ukrainian Armed Forces special forces in the Tendrovskaya Spit area had been disrupted; the enemy had lost more than 290 servicemen.
