”They donʼt have such information.” Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Danilov condemned officials who voice the losses of the UAF

In an interview with LIGA.net, Oleksiy Danilov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, said that officials who spoke about the number of victims at the front did not have access to such information.

"I want to appeal once again to the figures who say that every day we have 200, 300 or more people dying at the front. Some even said about a thousand… They do not have the opportunity to obtain such information," said the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council.

Asked if this could be pressure on Western partners, he said everyont "should be held accountable" for his words.

"When it comes to the dead, this is by no means possible. You canʼt juggle this. This is not a skittles or a circus. This is the life of people," Danilov stressed.
