At a certain moment, the incessant shelling did not allow the soldiers to stand in the trenches, ”said Alexei, a serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
He also said that there is a shortage of ammunition in the ranks of the Ukrainian army, as well as desertion and psychological problems.
Earlier, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported to Russian leader Vladimir Putin about the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in two weeks during the operation to liberate Lysichansk.
According to him, the total losses amounted to 5469 people.
The Russian Defense Ministry said that servicemen of the territorial defense battalion in Lviv refused to leave for a combat mission in the Donbass.
