Volunteer Oksana Korchynska says that in recent weeks Ukrainian soldiers have received most injuries as a result of mine incidents

She said this on Espreso TV. 

“Unfortunately, the number of our soldiers' injuries has increased due to the fact that they have to move through a minefield. The temporarily occupied territory is completely mined by Russians. Our guys are taking very difficult redoubts. That is why, unfortunately, the number of wounded with amputated limbs has increased. The last two weeks have been very difficult. Our young, strong men with such injuries were brought to us,” said Korchynska.

The volunteer added that thanks to charitable foundations, the stabilization points on the frontline are fully supplied with everything they need.

“Luckily, our doctors have managed to save a lot of lives in recent weeks. And I was very worried about how we would be able to provide everything needed for the stabilization centers. However, I want to tell you with great gratitude that thanks to our benefactors, even the stabilization centers at the brigade level are fully equipped with everything they need,” she added.

  • On June 5, Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar reported on the progress of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' offensive and success in the Bakhmut direction.

  • On June 6, Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin explained that the Ukrainian Armed Forces could break through the Russian defense.

  • Ihor Lapin, a special forces officer and former lawmaker, noted that combat reconnaissance by the Ukrainian Armed Forces continues on the frontline.

  • On June 10, military expert Roman Svitan assured that by the end of next week we would see real movement of the Ukrainian Armed Forces not by hundreds of meters, but by kilometers.

  • On June 15, ISW analysts reported that Ukrainian soldiers could have killed about 100 Russian soldiers and wounded the same number in the Kreminna area, Luhansk region.
