In the war against Ukraine, an estimated 350,000 Russian soldiers have been killed or wounded, according to German authorities, according to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
Scholz said that in pursuit of capturing additional square meters of Ukrainian territory, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is killing civilians and sending hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers to their deaths.
"According to our data - although exact figures are unknown - 350,000 Russian soldiers have either been killed or seriously wounded. And every day this number increases by a thousand or more," said the German Chancellor.
