70 Ukrainian border guards died in Donbass
Since the beginning of hostilities on the territory of Donbass, 70 Ukrainian border guards have been killed, 429 have been wounded and 5 have gone missing, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
This was announced by the head of the State Border Service of Ukraine Petr Tsigikal in an interview with the Kyiv channel 112.ua.
“Since the beginning of the war, 5 border guards are considered missing. Unfortunately, we cannot say whether they are alive or not, but until there is a clear understanding, hope is alive and we will consider them missing. Today we have 70 dead and 429 wounded,” he said.
Tsigikal added that as of today, 19 thousand servicemen of the State Border Guard Service have served in the area of the so-called “ATO”.
“In terms of financial support, we are on par with the Armed Forces of Ukraine and NSU,” he added.
As of January, 69 border guards were officially considered dead, 429 were wounded, and 5 were missing.
