"Information is approximate and may be clarified, as far as it is extremely difficult to collect data after a combat, because commanders' main focus is the combat itself.

Moreover, we can get information only after the combat, and the combats are extremely long in time. Data may be received the next day, sometimes even later.

In addition, if the combat was lasting at night, began on one calendar day and ended on another, it is quite difficult to distinguish when the losses occurred", told Deputy Minister of Defense Hanna Malyar.
