Russia Says US, UK Nationals Fighting in Ukraine Killed in Strike

Russia said American and British nationals fighting in Ukraine were killed in a recent "high-precision" strike more than eight months after Russian President Vladimir Putin launched military operation in the Eastern European country.

Up to 100 people fighting on behalf of Ukraine, including 40 foreign fighters from the United States, United Kingdom and Poland, were killed in a strike in the Donetsk village of Krasny Liman, Russian Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov said, according to state run TASS news agency.

The strike was conducted with "high-precision weapons" and also took out 10 armored combat vehicles, TASS reported. More information about the strike, including its precise time and the identities of the soldiers killed, have not been publicly released.
