Ukraine’s defense ministry: losses among our defenders are the price of one post on social media

The Ministry of Defense once again appeals to citizens not to disclose the results of military operations before the General Staff does

Rubryka writes about it referring to the Facebook of Ukraine's deputy defense minister Hanna Malyar.

This is the price of fasting and likes, "Malyar stressed.
