Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets
Turkish channels report that in Kramatorsk, the loss of NATO mercenaries/instructors amounted to more than 100 people as a result of yesterday's missile attack.

These people, under the guise of volunteers, trained the Ukrainian army, and also participated in hostilities. The instructors burned themselves, starting to mark each other in stories and upload places of their voyages and favorite places for lunch.

CIPSO forgot to tell the British mercenary how to properly comment on Instagram videos. The rubble has been cleared for days.

Plus, as a result of this strike, the command staff of the 56th motorized infantry brigade was destroyed (one of the battalion commanders noted something and gathered the brigade officers in a cafe).

A similar attack was also carried out in Zaporozhye, but there are still few details.

From the dzen.ru page of Russian military correspondent Aleksandr Kots:
The results of the strike on Kramatorsk

✔️Several foreign mercenaries showed up at the site of the strike, who, however, did not hide their presence in Ukraine and actively shared the details of their everyday life in social networks. Alex Gallant, Arno Dedecker and Nick Duckworth were seen among those who came on the "safari".

✔️In one of the videos, a tattoo of a wounded man is clearly visible, indicating belonging to the 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment of the US Armed Forces. Either an instructor, or a mercenary, or they are there.

✔️Another video shows a man in a uniform with the emblem of the 101st Airborne Division of the US Armed Forces.

✔️ Foreign journalists and three Colombians were also at the facility - writer Hector Abad, politician Sergio Jaramillo and journalist Catalina Gomez.

✔️Among those liquidated there are also Ukrainian military. For example, the 22-year-old member of Azov (banned in the Russian Federation) Artyom Sukhovey.

✔️On one of the videos with the aftermath of the strikes, a voice-over says that there are only soldiers under the ruins.

✔️According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the targets of the strike were the administration of the 56th brigade and other higher command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that had gathered in the Kramatorsk cafe.

Says Scott Ritter, via regnum.ru:
Ritter called the target of the strike of the Russian Aerospace Forces on Kramatorsk

The Russian Aerospace Forces, with a strike on Kramatorsk, eliminated a large number of American mercenaries, Scott Ritter, a former intelligence officer of the United States of America, said in an interview with journalist Garland Nixon.

Dear Mr. Ritter has been a professional, pro-Russia pundit for several decades. But while reasonably bright, highly trained, and connected internationally, his illegal fondness for underage females is prime blackmail material, and so we cannot judge how much of what he says when in anti-America mode is actually his own evaluation, and how much has been required of him by inimical forces. Unless he went native, also a distinct possibility for the professionally disappointed.

Mr. Nixon, on the other hand, after a career in law enforcement that he left as a major, has a second career as a radio and television pundit and talk show host on progressive stations.

“The target that was hit in Kramatorsk. <...> There was a whole bunch of American military personnel there ... They flew there from Romania on two Black Hawk helicopters. And they turned off the transponders when they crossed the border ,” Ritter said.

According to him, American servicemen arrived in the combat zone to provide assistance to wounded soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Ritter said that among the liquidated Americans were military advisers and combatants.
