Ukraine lost more than 45,000 soldiers in almost three years of full invasion of the Russian invasion.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said this in an interview with the British journalist of Pierce, reports Deutsche Welle.
We clearly know, because for us every person who died or is wounded is very important. Today we have 45 thousand 100 dead. About 390 thousand cases of injuries, ”said Zelensky. – I explain, because the number of injuries is more than the number of wounded, because there are people who were wounded twice and returned to the battlefield. Therefore, the number of injuries is 390 thousand, and the number of victims is slightly less.
At the same time, Zelenski emphasized that Ukraine does not have accurate data about the Ukrainian military who disappeared, and those who were captured. We are talking about “thousands of people”, but it is not known who disappeared and remains captive. According to him, Ukraine is working on this issue.
The third figure that is not understood by us is children. We believe that about 19 thousand 500 – 19 thousand 800 children who were exported in Russia from temporarily occupied territories. This is what we understand, ”he said.
Zelensky also emphasized that Ukraine has no data at this time, how many children and adults were killed in occupied territories.
It should be added that US President Donald Trump during a recent press conference in the White House stated that Ukraine lost 700,000 dead soldiers.
