For the first time, Ukraine has given a number for the number of soldiers killed so far – and, as it feared, is too high, according to Bild. But the Russian losses are said to be much more dramatic.
About 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed in the Russian-led invasion in February. This was stated by Olexiy Arestovych, Advisor to President Volodymyr Selenskyj, in a video interview.
This week, Ukrainian Defense Minister Olexiy Resnikov had already complained that up to 100 Ukrainian soldiers are being killed every day.
However, according to Arestovich, more Russians than Ukrainian soldiers are killed on a permanent basis. On Friday, Ukrainian artillery attacks with Western ammunition were particularly effective, he said, referring to some 600 Russian soldiers killed.
He also hoped that the West would supply weapons and ammunition even faster. In order to repel the Russian attack, Ukraine needs, among other things, rapidly more artillery fire, Arestovytch said.
The city of Sjewjerodonezk in eastern Ukraine has been particularly fierce for days.
Governor Sergiy Gajdaj described a few days ago the horrific and brutal back-and-forth of the control of the last bastion in the Luhansk region.
“The Russian army is bombarding our positions for hours, then sending a contingent of newly mobilized soldiers, they die, then they realize that there are still pockets of resistance and they start bombing again,” Gajdaj said. This is the situation in the fourth month of the Russian invasion.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Selenskyj said on Tuesday during a visit to the front line that more than 31,000 Russian soldiers had been killed since the start of the war in late February. This equates to almost 300 deaths a day.
The data can not be verified independently. But it is clear that Vladimir Putin’s violent offensive war is leaving a lot of death and destruction in its path.
