At least three Ukrainian servicemen were killed and 18 others were injured after a Russian missile hit a Ukrainian training unit as Vladimir Putin’s forces step up their attacks on Ukraine’s training facilities, officials said.
"Today, 29 July, the enemy launched a missile strike on the territory of one of the training units of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine," the Ground Forces said.
"Despite the security measures taken, unfortunately it was not possible to completely avoid losses among the personnel. As of 21:30, it is known that there are three dead and 18 wounded servicemen,” it said.
The attack comes as US president Donald Trump said he will start imposing tariffs and other measures on Russia 10 days from today if Moscow does not make progress towards ending the Ukraine war.
