UKRAINIAN officials have dismissed Russia's claims that "600 servicemen were killed" in revenge for a deadly attack on Putin's forces.
Russia's ministry of defence claimed that the attack was on two buildings temporarily housing 1,300 Ukrainian troops in eastern Ukraine.
However, the allegations have been dismissed by Ukrainian spoke person, Serhii Cherevatyi, who said it is ?not true?.
He added: ?The Russian information is not true. Russian army attacked Kramatorsk with seven missiles at 11.30pm yesterday.
?But it does not have any impact on the Ukrainian army.
What did reporters find when they visited the suspected missile strike location?
Reuters reporters visited the two college dormitories Russia's defence ministry said had been temporarily housing Ukrainian servicemen close to the front line of the war at the time of the overnight strike.
The outlet said neither appeared to have been directly hit by missiles or seriously damaged and there were no obvious signs that soldiers had been living there and no sign of bodies or traces of blood.
Some of the windows were broken at Hostel No. 47, which stood by a courtyard that had a big crater in it.
The other building named by Russia's defence ministry, Hostel No. 28, was entirely intact. A crater lay about 50 metres away closer to some garages.
