Russian nationalists and lawmakers are expressing outrage after the deaths of 63 Russian soldiers in a New Year's Eve strike on a Russian military barracks in Ukraine.
The outrage began after a rare Russian Defense Ministry disclosure admitted that 63 Russian soldiers were killed in a New Year's Eve attack on a temporary barracks in the Russian-occupied regional capital of Donetsk, one of the deadliest attacks on Russian troops since theGatherings to honor dead troops popped up in multiple cities across the country in response to the attack, with mourners in the city of Samara placing flowers in the city center.
"I haven't slept for three days, Samara hasn't slept. We are constantly in touch with the wives of our guys. It's very hard and scary. But we can't be broken. Grief unites ... We will not forgive, and, definitely, victory will be ours," Yekaterina Kolotovkina, a representative of a women's council at an army unit, told mourners at one of the gatherings, according to Reuters.
Koffler believes the setback is unlikely to dissuade Russia from continuing to put troops at risk, arguing that the country's culture prioritizes the collective over individual soldiers. "The fact that large numbers of personnel were housed close-by to the storage of military hardware, making this location an ideal target for Ukrainian strikes is not exactly due to incompetence of the Russian military leadership," Koffler said."It’s due to negligence. They simply don’t care."

Lives of individual soldiers don’t matter on the big scheme of things - that is the mentality," she continued.
