No Ukrainian soldiers were killed but four were injured in the Donbas conflict zone over the last 24 hours, presidential administration spokesman for ATO issues Colonel Andriy Lysenko said at a briefing in Kyiv on Friday, according to an UNIAN correspondent.
"Over the last day, we haven’t lost any Ukrainian soldiers, but four were injured as a result of active military clashes and provocations," he said.
According to Lysenko, three Ukrainian soldiers were injured near the town of Maryinka, and another one was injured near the village of Luhanske.
