The Ukrainian army has lost 43 servicemen over the past 24 hours, Lugansk People’s Republic People’s Militia spokesman Ivan Filiponenko said.
“Over the past 24 hours, the enemy’s losses of manpower and equipment in clashes with LPR Defense Ministry units amounted to 43 servicemen, four armored personnel carriers and three vehicles,” Filiponenko said.
The Ukrainian government launched the so-called anti-terrorist operation against Donbass in April 2014. The participants in the Donbass peace talks have announced ceasefire more than 20 times since the autumn of 2014. Kiev forces regularly violated the truce opening fire with large caliber artillery, mortars and tank guns which were to have been withdrawn from the contact line under the accords. *i*s
