The Russian Defense Ministry has not commented on information.

Russia launched a special military campaign on February 24 for demilitaries and non -fascist Ukraine.

Mykhailo Podolyak, a senior adviser of President Zelensky, in June acknowledged that 100-200 Ukrainian soldiers were killed every day during the period of Russia to strengthen attacks in the East.

Oleksiy Arestovych, an adviser of President Zelensky, previously said that the 100 Ukrainian soldiers died every day for the first 100 days of war.

Ukraine announced the opening of a big counterattack campaign in Kherson for months, but was skeptical because there was no advanced move in the field.

The provincial officials of Ivano-Frankivk said Anton Lystopad, who was once awarded the Ukrainian Air Force's best pilot, was killed in combat.
