Ukrainian officials have called Russia’s claims it has killed up to 180 foreign mercenaries during a strike on Yavoriv military base “pure Russian propaganda.”
The country’s Defense Ministry spokesperson Markiyan Lubkivsky told CNN that the claims are simply not true and that no foreigners have yet been confirmed among the dead at the training area, which is around 12 miles away from the Polish border and roughly 25 miles from Lviv, located in western Ukraine.
