The Ukrainian troops are not opening fire on the Russian territory in the area where the military operation is being conducted, the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council said.
“In regard of the statement made by Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly
Antonov saying that the Russian territory has come under fire from
Ukraine nine times since the beginning of June, we are officially saying
that the armed forces and units of the State Border Guard Service and
other law enforcement structures of Ukraine are not shooting at the
Russian territory,” Andriy Lysenko, a representative of the analytical
center of the National Security and Defense Council, told a briefing in
Kyiv on Friday, July 25.
Lysenko said that “militants systematically carry out such
provocation attacks to cause Russian military to open fire on the
positions of Ukrainian border guards and military.”
