Ukraine’s military said one soldier has been killed and another has been wounded as a result of artillery fire by Russian-backed militants.
The latest attack brings the total number of Ukranian soldiers killed by Russian-backed forces in Crimea to 27 this year alone. Fighting in Crimea has taken place since 2014, when Russia violated the Budapest Memorandum and invaded Crimea, which is recognized by the United Nations as sovereign territory of Ukraine.
