He stated this during a meeting of the National Security and Defense Council.
According to him, on Thursday and Friday, Ukrainian troops destroyed 600 opponents.
“Just yesterday, 8 GRAD systems were eliminated. 4 of them are from the 6 that carried out shelling of Mariupol. More terrorists were destroyed. Just yesterday, 110 militants were killed and 90 were injured. Several vehicles with ammunition and 7 armored vehicles were destroyed,” he claims.
At the same time, the president did not remember the losses of Ukrainian troops. Later, Ukrainian Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak noted that 3 servicemen were killed and 16 were injured.
Let us note that Poroshenko urgently asked the minister to repeat the losses of the pro-Russian rebels. According to Poltorak, from January 17 to 24, the militia lost 1210 people: “405 sanitary, 805 irrevocable.”
As PolitNavigator reported, earlier the leadership of the DPR, as well as prisoners of war, stated that the losses of Ukrainian troops were underestimated in Kyiv.
