Quote: "We have an estimate of casualties per day; however, it is not accurate. An estimated 50 people [are killed] per day. However, these are not accurate numbers, because we do not exactly know how many soldiers and civilians remain in this territory. Ukraine’s army has suffered five times less casualties than the Russian one.
The position of our military is not to announce the exact number of killed and wounded Ukrainian servicemen. The main issue is accurate data. I have information that I receive and that they provide me with. We have to be very careful with numbers, because we are talking about human lives."
Background:
- At the end of August, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said that almost 9,000 Ukrainian servicemen died in the war against the Russian invaders.
- According to the Ukrainian General Staff, Russia has already suffered over 50,000 casualties in military personnel in the war against Ukraine.
