At the same time, the Ministry of Defense noted that this information is indicative and can be clarified, since it is extremely difficult to obtain it after the battle, because commanders most focus on the conduct of the battle.
«In addition, we can only get information at the end of the battle, and the battles are extremely long in time. Data may arrive the next day, and sometimes the day after», — Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar noted.
She also added that if the battle continued at night, and began on one calendar date and ended on another, it is quite difficult to separate on which day certain losses occurred.
