From January to August 2026 of this year, the army of the aggressor country Russia suffered on the battlefield in Ukraine (killed and wounded) 248 tens of thousands of service members. This is what Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said 23 in September during his speech at the UN General Assembly, which was broadcast by Suspline.
"21 the country in the world has a smaller population than the Russians have lost literally in eight months. We have video confirmation of each of these losses. And this is not just statistics. This is about people. It's horrific," the head of the Ukrainian state said.
The president also noted that Russia managed to capture only 1 thousand square kilometers of Ukrainian land this year, and Ukraine has already liberated a significant part of it.
"Russia has thousands of square kilometers of its own territory. And for a few kilometers, Putin pays with the lives of his fellow citizens. It makes absolutely no sense," Zelensky added.
