Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says that 31,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed in action in the two years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Sunday that 31,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed in action in the two years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion.

Zelenskyy said that the number was far lower than estimates given by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s government.

“31,000 Ukrainian military personnel have been killed in this war. Not 300,000, not 150,000, not whatever Putin and his deceitful circle have been lying about. But nevertheless, each of these losses is a great sacrifice for us”, Zelenskyy said at the “Ukraine. Year 2024” forum in Kyiv.

The Ukrainian leader said that he wouldn’t disclose the number of troops that were wounded or missing. He also said that “tens of thousands of civilians” had been killed in occupied areas of Ukraine, but said that no exact figures would be available until the war was over.

      You are quite literally Canadian. Once you finish cheering on the mass death of Ukrainians (to make up for a massive shortfall of artillery & ammo production the US and Ukrainians have both admitted exists across all of Europe, the US, and more), reality will catch up to you. You’ll get depressed about climate change and the Russian Threat and ge euthanasia from your government. Nobody will miss you because you spent all your time pretending to be winning a war online instead of living your life.

      You literally have a bar in your country with Stepan Bandera and all kinds of Nazi paraphernalia on the walls that people have been flocking to for Instagram posts. You are an international embarrassment. You are several oil and mining companies in a trench coat masquerading as a sovereign state.
