“Over the past 24 hours seven Armed Forces servicemen and eight border guards have been killed, 79 more soldiers wounded,” Lysenko said.
According to him, a large number of losses is due to the escape of the 79th Brigade from encirclement. “This is primarily due to the escape from the trap where the guys were fiercely fired from the territory of the Russian Federation and from the territory, currently controlled by terrorists,” the spokesman said.
