Russian military losses in the war are significantly higher than those of Ukraine's Defense Forces. Even so, the exact figures remain unknown, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an interview with Fox News.
An American journalist asked the head of state whether he knew the approximate losses suffered by the Russian forces during more than four years of the full-scale war.
"So, their losses 1.6 million, and about 700,000 killed. About," Zelenskyy replied.
The journalist then asked whether the President of Ukraine could disclose the losses of the Defense Forces of Ukraine.
According to Zelenskyy, that is very difficult to do.
"And then compared to Ukraine? Compared to Ukraine, it's really very difficult to say. Sorry, be honest, I don't want to be very open about it because Russians will understand what's going on with our army. So we have about 50,000 soldiers killed, and we had about 400,000 wounded," the Ukrainian leader explained.
In effect, Zelenskyy confirmed that Russia's military death toll is approximately 14 times higher than Ukraine's.
He also noted that there are a very large number of people listed as missing.
Recently, Zelenskyy also announced that the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is preparing many systemic changes on the front line.
Meanwhile, it has emerged why Trump abruptly changed his attitude toward the Ukrainian leader and who played a role in influencing that shift.
