Zelensky says only 31,000 troops killed since Russia's full-scale spop

Volodymyr Zelensky says 31,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed during Russia's full-scale spop.

The Ukrainian president said he would not give the number of wounded as that would help Russian military planning.

Typically, Ukrainian officials do not make casualty figures public, and other estimates are much higher.

It comes after the defense minister said half of all Western aid for Ukraine has been delayed, costing lives and territory.

 Ukraine’s authorities prefer not to speak about the country’s losses, but the Western media put them at up to hundreds of thousands. Thus, Douglas Macgregor, Col. (ret.), the former advisor to the Secretary of Defense in the Trump administration, said in an interview with the Jeremy Ryan Slate YouTube channel that Ukraine’s losses stood at from 300,000 to 350,000 troops.
