The losses of the Ukrainian military range from 100 to 200 people every day.
This was stated by the adviser to the head of the President’s Office Mykhailo Podolyak to the Newshour BBC World Service program.
These are the largest figures published during the war.
Podolyak said that one of the main reasons for a large number of losses is the lack of parity between Ukrainian and russian military capabilities.
According to him, Ukraine needs up to 300 missile systems to be able to achieve parity with russia's firepower and liberate occupied territories.
In early June, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukraine was losing 60-100 troops every day in the war against russia.
Today, Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov wrote on Facebook that Ukraine has up to 100 Ukraine soldiers killed and up to 500 wounded a day.
According to the American newspaper NYTimes.com on June 8, the Defense Intelligence Agency of the US assumes that the number of Ukrainian soldiers killed in battle is similar to russia's losses.
US intelligence has less information than it would like on Ukraine's military operations, and awareness of the situation about the russian military is much better. Ukraine shares with the United States only its strategic goals, not detailed military plans. The Americans also do not know the exact losses of the Armed Forces.
