Ukrainian troops and defenders are destroying the invaders, casualties are being counted, and as of now, the enemy has been stopped and there is no intense active confrontation.

According to Malyar: "Where are the invader's dead soldiers? Why has the official figure of "more than 12 thousand" not changed for several days?

No need to worry, the invaders are being ferociously destroyed. Just as ferociously as they are destroying our cities and villages. However, counting the invader's losses of personnel is far from being a priority on the ground.

What is more, the situation is changing rapidly on a daily basis and as of today, the invaders have been stopped and there is no such intense active confrontation as there was just a few days ago."

Details: Malyar explained that the decrease in the intensity of the invader's offensive potential is precisely indicative of the really high casualties and the need for additional manpower.

It should also be understood that counting enemy losses during the active phase of the war is very difficult, the deputy minister noted.

Establishing an exact figure for enemy losses is very difficult. There are several methodologies of calculation that are used, but, to put it very simply, "no-one goes around with a calculator after the battle".

Figures are coming from various sources, often with a delay of several days. It all depends on the situation on the ground, Malyar stressed.
