This June with regard to the losses we suffered in the forefront, has become one of the bloodiest months over the last period. Almost every day we kept receiving tragic news from the headquarters about the increasing number of attacks and casualties among the defenders of Ukraine.
“Despite the achievements at the Stanytsia Luhanska disengagement area, the conflict, which Russia started over five years ago, continues,” – the Deputy Political Counselor of the U.S. Mission to the OSCE Lane Darnell Bahl said in her speech at a meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council in Vienna on July 4. – “Eighty-seven Ukrainian soldiers were killed or wounded in June in the conflict with Russia-led forces – the highest figure in several months. We were saddened to learn that a Ukrainian military medic and her driver were killed July 1 near the line of contact. Russia must do its part to end this intensifying violence,” – she stressed, according to UkrInform news agency.
Earlier, Russian-occupying forces carried out an attack on an ambulance belonging to a unit of the JFO troops, which resulted in killing of Ukrainian medics.
Unfortunately, we do not have any data on wounded servicemen who died in hospitals over the past month, still we can remember the names of those who sacrificed their lives in the frontline for us to live in peace and comfort.

Eternal Glory to our Heroes
Dear friends, we’re quite aware of the fact that today nearly everyone feels emptied with this prolonged exhaustive war. Still we just cannot afford to leave our defenders, men and women who are fighting for Ukraine, to face the enemy alone, with no support. Within the Rapid Response initiative, thanks to your kind donations, for the sixth year in a row we’ve been sending necessary, often life-saving, equipment to our military in the forefront. And even a small input of a few hryvnias or more often plays a decisive role. Dear friends, hopefully you agree that is it much more worthwhile and advisable to support our own army than to serve anyone else’s troops, don’t you?
