The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, reported that 2,500- 3,000 Ukrainian militaries were killed in the war with russia. He announced this number in an interview with CNN.
According to his words, Ukrainian officials believe that from 2,500 to 3,000 Ukrainian militaries died in the war, while the number of russian servicemen killed was between 19,000 and 20,000.
The Head of State added that about 10,000 Ukrainian militaries were wounded, and "it is difficult to say how many will survive."
According to Zelenskyy, it is much more challenging to count casualties among civilians.
"It is complicated to talk about civilians because the south of our country, where the cities and towns of our country are blocked - Kherson, Berdiansk, then in the east there is Mariupol, and the area to the east, where Volnovakha is located - we just do not know how many people died in that blocked area," - the President said.
According to preliminary data from the Head of Donetsk RMA (Region Military Administration) Pavlo Kyrylenko, only in Mariupol, 22 thousand people were killed. Besides, as of 15 April 2022, the bodies of 900 people killed by the russian occupiers were found in the Kyiv region. Furthermore, according to Ombudsman Liudmila Denisova, about 15,000 people in Ukraine are reported missing.
