Zelensky claims that Ukraine has lost more than 45 thousand soldiers and the Russian Federation – the emero more

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated in a widespread interview with British journalist Pierce Morgan, which, since the beginning of a full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation, the loss of the Defense Forces of Ukraine was killed by about 4,5100 military, and Russian losses were estimated by the Head of State at 300-350 thousand.

“As for our losses, the exact figures are very important for us. 45 100 people were killed and about 390,000 cases of injuries. Certain: the number of injuries is greater than the number of injured, because there are people who were injured and then returned to the battlefield and were injured again. Therefore, the number of injuries is 390 thousand. This is the situation, but the number of injured people is smaller, ”Zelensky said (the number of the dead-from the 12th minute 30 seconds in this video).

The number of wounded Russian soldiers of Ukraine estimated at 600-700 thousand, from 50 to 70 thousand Russians, according to Zelensky, there are missing missing (a similar figure of losses among Ukrainian military heads did not cite).

The General Staff of the Armed Forces estimates the losses of the Russian Federation killed and wounded (some of which could be injured repeatedly) as of February 4 in almost 843 thousand people, which is at least 100 thousand different from the data given by Zelensky.

The Supreme Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine gave his preliminary assessment of Ukrainian losses almost two months ago, on December 8, 2024. Then Zelensky spoke of 43,000 dead and 390,000 wounded.

On December 7, US Defense Minister Lloyd Austin said that Russia had lost at least $ 700,000 during a large -scale war against Ukraine and spent more than $ 200 billion on it.

The UK Ministry of Defense has previously stated that 2024 has brought the greatest losses for Russia from the beginning of a full -scale invasion of Ukraine. According to the agency, Russia lost 429 thousand military people killed and wounded compared to 105 960 in 2022 and 252 940 in 2023.

The total losses of Russia in the full -scale war against Ukraine exceed 750 thousand, noted in the department.

Russia and Ukraine do not provide information about their losses in the war. Moscow officially called the number of killed in September 2022 – then declared 5937 dead. Kyiv did not do this for a long time, stating that the data would be disclosed after the war.
