US Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, estimated that the number of Russian and Ukrainian soldiers killed or wounded since the 24 February invasion is likely to have reached 200,000, The Washington Post has said.

"Well over" 100,000 Russian soldiers have been killed or wounded in the war, and Ukraine has probably suffered a similar number of casualties, Milley told the Economic Club of New York.

He added that the full withdrawal of Russian troops from Kherson, announced by Russia Wednesday, could take weeks, and that the winter months may bring an opportunity for negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow.

According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces, 78.6 thousand occupants were eliminated during the full-scale war. It is about the dead - the data on the wounded are not given.
