This was informed by a serviceman of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the founder of the unit Madyar's Birds, Robert Brovdi (Madyar).

According to Madyar, the attack was carried out on November 19 in the Kherson region - on the day of the Russian missile forces and artillery during the award ceremony. At the same time, the Russians carefully hid this place, because it was on the edge of the forest and disguised.

"Retaliation. Boomerang: two weeks after the attack on the 128th. 810th, you feel the pain, we know it. For our guys. For the Transcarpathian separate mountain assault brigade. Follow the obituaries closely, especially those from the occupied Crimea media. And around the main Burdenko hospital," Robert Brovdi wrote.

In total, according to the Ukrainian soldier, 25 militants from the 810th Marine Brigade were killed and about a hundred more were wounded. The Russians are carefully concealing the losses among the command staff.
