Poroshenko says 11,000 people killed since beginning of conflict in Donbas

Eleven thousand Ukrainians have been killed since the beginning of the Russian aggression in Donbas, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said.

"Eleven thousand Ukrainians have given their lives over all the days of the aggression, without making a distinction between civilians and the military," Poroshenko said in Kyiv on Friday.

Eight Ukrainian servicemen have died in Donbas in the past two days alone, Poroshenko said, accusing the adversary of disrupting the so-called 'harvest truce'.
