 The Ukrainian armed forces hit a Russian division near Kramina, killing about 100 Russian soldiers as a result of the strike. Russian sources claim that the division sat motionless for two hours listening to the speech of the commander General Zorav Akhmetov. Russian military bloggers said a Russian unit suffered heavy casualties from Ukrainian artillery while waiting information for a commander to give a motivational speech. The incident occurred in Kramina, Luhansk just before a Russian division was about to begin an assault. In addition to the hundreds of dead, there are about the same number of injured. Major General Zorav Akhmetov previously commanded Russia's 155th Marine Brigade of the Pacific Fleet. The brigade suffered heavy casualties in Donetsk under Akhmetov. This incident caused a serious wave of anger in Russia and a serious conversation between the country's leadership and the army command.
