Frontline situation
Last month, 35,203 Russian soldiers were killed or seriously wounded on the front lines. This marks the fifth consecutive month that Russia has lost more soldiers than it can mobilize, according to Ukraine's Defense Minister.
Besides, the number of Ukrainian medium-range strikes in April over a distance of more than 20 kilometers doubled compared to March and quadrupled compared to February.
"Russia suffers significant personnel losses every month – with over 35,000 killed and badly wounded in April. There is clear evidence for each strike," Zelenskyy's statement reads.
