#3 Over 600 bodies transported in truckloads: Russia hides Makiivka losses, fearing rebellion
In a new intercepted call released by the Chief Intelligence Department of Ukraine’s Defence Ministry, a Russian occupier tells his wife that the Russian authorities are keeping quiet about the events in Makiivka to prevent a rebellion when in fact, over 600 Russian invaders died there.

In the conversation, the Russian's wife tells her husband that the Russians have been taking corpses out of Makiivka "in truckloads" and that 610 people were in fact killed. She was apparently told that by the relatives of another Russian occupier who was directly involved in transporting the bodies.

Quote: "He personally transported the bodies of these people from Makiivka and from another [settlement]... from the hospital. He says 610 people died in Makiivka. He says, ‘I drove 12 Kamaz trucks [filled with bodies – ed.]’."

#4 A couple things:

UKR number = 400+ casualties
RUS number = 89
Mothers/Sisters = "No one will say anything. They are shutting everyone’s mouth... I feel sorry for the boys who lost their lives for nothing. The mothers are suffering".

More quotes about the matter:

"The truth is that they threw away all their Russian SIM cards back in Rostov while they were being taken to Makiivka... Then their commander took them to a special place where they bought Ukrainian SIM cards."

The BBC states that the Russian secret services are actively working with the phones of the soldiers killed in order to find evidence that would confirm the version of the Russian Defence Ministry.
