Around 30 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed in an attack by Russian forces on targets in the Ukrainian city of Kharkov, including the location of the Lyut assault brigade, Nikolaev underground network's coordinator Sergey Lebedev told Sputnik.

"On March 23, there was a series of attacks on military facilities in Kharkov, which hit the dormitories of the Kharkov National University of Internal Affairs, known in Kharkov as the Interior Ministry's school Bandurki," Lebedev said.

Neo-nazis from various regiments resided in the dormitory and the university itself, Lebedev said, adding that the presence of foreign service people was being verified. On Saturday night, a sanatorium in the Herzen settlement in Kharkov, where Ukrainian soldiers were stationed, was also hit, Lebedev added.

"Kharkov residents say that there was a military camp in the sanatorium. Whether it was the Ukrainian Armed Forces or the national battalions is still unclear. What is known is that the military who were in the sanatorium had a lot of weapons and equipment. Our agents say that the number of deaths is approximately 30," Lebedev added.
