Quote from Zelenskyy: "I cannot tell you the number of casualties we have. For example, in Avdiivka, I have just compared the numbers – it’s one to seven.

For every death of a Ukrainian, there are seven Russian deaths, that's the ratio.

I'm not comparing it – it's a tragedy to lose even one person from our side.

But you have to understand what was happening in this small town."

Details: Zelenskyy also said that the Russians had lost "tens of thousands of people" in Avdiivka since October 2023.

Background: Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, announced the withdrawal of Ukrainian units from Avdiivka.
