At least 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers died during the war with Russia, and another 400,000 were seriously wounded and can no longer fight

These figures only take into account military losses. The publication studied various sources in order to try to establish the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which are not officially disclosed.

Recall that Zelensky said in February that 30 thousand Ukrainian soldiers died at the front.

All those reports of troop shortages even after resorting to kidnapping men from the streets. Pretty clear indication losses are very high.

I bet the reality is that the 500,000 number is for KIA only, excluding MIA and wounded.
