Of those wounded who were taken away from us after yesterday’s shelling, there are a lot of wounded with amputation of limbs," he said.

"And plus, with the help of shelling, Russia scatters the so-called petals across the territory of Lisichansk - these are such small anti-personnel mines, stepping on which or trying to raise it, well, there is not such a big chance that a person will die, but a limb will be torn off," Gaidai added.
