"Thank God, it's not hundreds of thousands." The Ministry of Defense named the updated data on the losses of the Armed Forces from the beginning of a full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation
If for the military, these are losses that are much smaller than the enemy. It is very unpleasant for me to measure the amount, because for us every military is our great pain. But, less, it is still an indicator of our skills, our military, that we have been killed much less than in Russia. If they already have more than 50 thousand [losses of the dead], then we have called about nine [thousand].
Well, a little more,-said the painter in an interview on the Islnd TV YouTube channel, published on September 23. Video Day Deputy Minister of Defense said that information about the loss of the Ukrainian side is voiced as this indicator can help the enemy adjust his tactics and calculate certain actions.
The painter noted that during the war there are things that cannot be voiced, but society has not yet been used to it, so in some places the Ukrainian authorities have been accused of allegedly hiding information. On August 22, the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces Valery Zaluzhny reported that almost nine thousands of Ukrainian heroes were killed in the war with the Russian Federation.
At the same time, the losses of the Russian Federation from the beginning of a full -scale invasion of Ukraine as of the morning of September 23, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces, are more than 56 thousand dead.
