As of the end of last week of 2024, there are already 60 graves on the separate military avenue of the new sector #127, which has been under 24-hour security since 2023, near the entrance to the central city cemetery Abdal-1 (“old” Abdal). A resident of the Crimean capital, whose name the editors cannot name for security reasons, told the correspondent of the Radio Liberty Krym.Realiya project about this. Ten days earlier, there were 56 of them, and a year ago – 20.

According to the agency, at least 762 of them were citizens of Ukraine.

According to Krym.Realiya, the number of confirmed Crimeans who were killed in the ranks of the Russian army in the war against Ukraine has exceeded 840 people. At the same time, it became known about the death of 40 of them in August 2024.
