Brian Whitmore: They’re still dying in the Donbas
A relative reacts at the cemetery where buried Ukrainian servicemen and volonteers died during the war in the east of the country, markng the All Saints Day, in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv on Novemeber 1, 2015.
So here's a little statistic to consider as the European Union considers whether to extend sanctions against Russia. Since the beginning of this year, Ukraine has suffered 623 combat deaths in Donbas. What that means is that between three and four Ukrainian soldiers are dying every single day at the hand of Moscow and its proxies in eastern Ukraine. What this means is that dozens are dying every week. Scores are dying every month.
