Three Ukrainian soldiers have been injured in the Anti-Terrorist operation (ATO) zone in the east of the country over the past day, Ukrainian Defense Ministry spokesman Oleksandr Motuzianyk has said.
"Over the past day, as a result of the fighting, none of the Ukrainian military has been killed, while three soldiers have been injured," he said at a briefing in Kyiv on Friday.
In his words, grenade launcher and small arms fire was intense in the vicinity of Stanytsia Luhanska, Krymske and Popasna.
