While between 100 and 200 troops per day were killed at the height of the fighting in May and June, daily casualties have now dropped to 30 dead and around 250 wounded, the president said.
Thanks to Western weapons, the Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to reduce losses at the front: now they are three times less than they were at the peak of the conflict. President Volodymyr Zelensky said this in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.

Before that, the enemy fired 12,000 artillery shells every day against 1,000-2,000 Ukrainians, and now the Armed Forces of Ukraine are capable of firing 6,000 shells per day, while Russia is running out of ammunition.
Zelensky emphasized that the change in the balance of firepower significantly reduced the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: if at the peak of the conflict in May and June, from 100 to 200 soldiers per day were killed, but now the day has decreased -day losses. of 30 dead and about 250 wounded.
“I can tell you for sure, because I am with it every day,” Zelensky assured.
