“Whatever the sweet lie that many of our shy citizens want to hear, for whom the numbers about real losses simply cause shortness of breath and increased heartbeat, let them suffer a little,” he expressed this opinion in an interview with the Ukrainian TV channel “Direct.”
The officer added that Ukrainians in the rear should learn what combat operations are like. According to Kasyanov, the shock of the real losses of Ukrainian troops should force the population to more actively provide assistance to the front.
Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the destruction of more than 290 Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters in the Krasnolimansk direction.
