#Zelenskyy presidential office adviser states that #Ukrainian military casualties are now 100-200 killed per day. It equals 3,000-6,200 killed per month. Typical wounded ratio suggests that 500-1,000 are wounded per day that equals 15,000-30,000 per month. bbc.com/ukrainian/news…

Officially admitted #Ukrainian military losses of 100-200 killed per day in #UkraineRussiaWar exclude missing in action & apparently SBU, police & other non-military personnel. Armchair warriors, who push to continue the war to the last Ukrainian, need to go & fight themselves.

"Ukrainian troops are suffering massive losses as they are outgunned 20 to one in artillery and 40 to one in ammunition by Russian forces, according to new intelligence painting a bleak picture of the conflict on the frontline." Over 5,600 Ukrainian POWs. news.yahoo.com/intelligence-r…

As I noted before, #Zelenskyy statement about 60-100 #Ukrainian soldiers killed per day only included casualties in #Donbas

Senior Ukrainian presidential aide has told the BBC that between 100 and 200 Ukrainian troops are being killed on the front line every day. Podolyak also said peace talks could only resume if Russia surrendered the territory it had gained since it invaded.

"Ukrainian casualties are running at a rate of somewhere between 6oo and 1,000 a day. One presidential adviser told the Guardian this week it was 150 killed and 800 wounded daily; another told the BBC that 100 to 200 Ukrainian troops a day were killed." theguardian.com/world/2022/jun…

"Roughly 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed since the Russian invasion began in late February, a military adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Saturday." Arestovych said that “200 to 300 die, no less” daily. #UkraineWar #Russia washingtonpost.com/world/2022/06/…

Admissions of own casualties by government officials are against their interest & are reliable minimum range. Their claims about casualties of adversaries are inflated & unreliable. It is physically impossible to count or estimate precisely casualties among forces of adversary.
