Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on the deaths of a group of soldiers in the Zaporizhzhia region after a Russian strike on an awards ceremony last week.
Unofficial reports suggest at least 20 soldiers and officers died in the attack as they gathered for the ceremony on Artillery and Missile Forces Day.
It's unusual for Zelenskyy to comment on specific losses, but those remarks came after public anger at the incident.
The ceremony was seen as an easy target for Russian forces.
"The main thing is to establish the complete truth about what happened and prevent such incidents from happening again.
