Russia is losing about 30,000 killed, not wounded, soldiers every month in the war against Ukraine, says Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a speech in the Dutch parliament.
According to Zelenskyy, Vladimir Putin is losing about 30,000 soldiers' lives on the front lines in Ukraine every month.
"Not wounded. 30,000 killed every month. There was a month when 25,000 Russians were killed. Another month - 31,000. We have drone footage confirming these deaths," the President of Ukraine says.
He adds that "Russian assaults are always insanely bloody, but Putin doesn't care — Russians don't count their dead, but they count every dollar, every euro they lose."
