"As of April 19, two servicepersons of the Armed Forces were wounded. One soldier is in critical condition, another one is in satisfactory condition. But the situation escalated significantly that night. On April 20, one Ukrainian defender was killed in enemy shelling... Another soldier suffered combat injury.
