Why does at least one Ukrainian soldier die every day during the ceasefire?
In Ukraine, even under the conditions of a truce in the Donbass, the number of non-combat losses is increasing - in Kyiv they cite decomposition in the absence of active actions at the front as the reason.
In particular, Ukrainian military observer, retired Ukrainian Armed Forces officer Dmitry Likhovy said this on air on the Skrypin Internet channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“979 people together means all the dead, injured and wounded when we talk about non-combat losses. Of these, 256 were killed, 703 were injured or injured in seven months...
We previously agreed that the number of non-combat losses was decreasing, and for a long time it was approximately equal to combat losses. But now, due to the fact that combat losses this year have decreased significantly...
There is reason to talk about an increase in the number of non-combat losses. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the army has less to do in terms of war, I don’t know. Of these 276 non-combat deaths, 44 deaths occurred in the Joint Forces Operation zone. It turns out that 233 deaths occurred in the rear?
It seems to me that these are some very large deaths... If you count that 276 died in the first seven months, it turns out that there were 40 deaths in a month. This is more than one military, non-combat loss that occurs daily. That is, it turns out that military personnel die every day not at the front, but in the rear,” Likhovy said.
He previously admittedthat the Ukrainian military is violating the silence regime signed by Kiev in the Donbass, although the official authorities assure that there has been no fighting in the region for more than 100 days.
