Zelensky says 31,000 Ukrainian soldiers killed since Russia invaded

On Sunday, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy revealed that 31,000 Ukrainian soldiers had lost their lives in the full-scale Russian invasion over the past two years, marking the first official figure released in over a year.

Speaking at a press conference in Kyiv, Zelenskiy refrained from disclosing the number of wounded, citing concerns about aiding Russian military planning.

Zelenskiy emphasized, “31,000 Ukrainian troops have been casualties in this conflict. It is not 300,000, not 150,000… (Russian President Vladimir) Putin is spreading falsehoods… Nonetheless, this represents a significant loss for us.”

Since the close of 2022, Ukraine had not provided a specific count of military losses.

In late 2022, presidential aide Mykhailo Podolyak stated that 13,000 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed since the invasion on February 24, Reuters reported.
