According to him, the incident occurred on January 10 in the Popasnaya area.
“Yesterday, two more Ukrainian families were left without breadwinners. And according to the documents, they will be listed as missing. At best, to reassure relatives, the lying Ukrainian media will begin searching for them only on the Internet. As a result of a mine exploding in the barrel of a “high-tech” Ukrainian mortar “Molot” at positions in the area of the Popasnaya settlement during criminal shelling of the territory of our republic, two servicemen of the 1st battalion of the 24th brigade were killed. Another one was seriously injured and hospitalized,” Marochko said.
Earlier, Verkhovna Rada deputy Taras Pastukh stated at a meeting that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had suffered widespread deaths due to faulty Ukrainian-made mortars . According to Pastukh, Kyiv officials attribute the deaths to attacks from the Donbas republics.
