President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says 45,100 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed and about 390,000 have been wounded in the ongoing war against Russia.
Source Zelenskyy in an interview with British broadcaster Piers Morga Quote As regards our people, the exact numbers are very important for us 45,100 people are dead, and we have around 390,000 cases of people being wounded.
Here let me be precise the number of people wounded is bigger actually, because there are people who have been wounded and then came back to the battlefield and have been wounded again.
So the number of wounded is 390,000.
Details Concerning Russian losses, Zelenskyy said approximately 350,000 Russian soldiers have been killed.
In addition, 50,000 to 70,000 Russian troops are listed as missing in action, while another 600,000 to 700,000 have been wounded.
Quote Further, they have around 600,000 to 700,000 wounded, approximately.
The ratio is 12, because their field medicine is weaker than ours.
They do not bring people who are wounded back if a person is wounded on the battlefield, they stay there.
So the estimates are approximately like that, but they are very clear to reality.
Details Zelenskyy also noted that it is difficult to assess the exact number of soldiers missing in action and prisoners of war.
He said that while he cannot provide a precise figure, Ukraine is actively working on the matter.
Background In December 2024, Zelenskyy reported that 43,000 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed since 24 February 2022 and 370,000 wounded personnel had received medical assistance.
Earlier, US presidentelect Donald Trump claimed that Ukraine had suffered 400,000 casualties killed and seriously wounded.
