“About 1,300 Ukrainian servicemen” have been killed since the start of the Russian invasion on February 24, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said at a news conference in Kiev on Saturday.
“We have about 1,300 deceased soldiers,” declared the Ukrainian president, without giving more details about this balance, the first given by the Ukrainian authorities since the start of the conflict on February 24.
Zelensky also said that the Russian army had lost “about 12,000 men”, in a “ratio of one to ten which, however, does not make me happy”, he declared.
On March 2, the Russian army (which mobilized some 150,000 soldiers) claimed to have lost 500 soldiers, a figure that has not been updated since then.
With heavy fighting in many cities across the country, most notably the siege of the Sea of Azov port city of Mariupol and nearby Kiev, the Pentagon estimated on March 8 that Russian losses ranged from 2,000 to 4,000 troops. (I)
