Zelensky Reports 45,000 Ukrainian Soldiers Killed in War with Russia

The Ukrainian president also revealed 390,000 soldiers have been injured since the conflict began, though independent verification of these figures remains unavailable.

• Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated in an interview that 45,100 Ukrainian soldiers have died and 390,000 have been injured during the war with Russia.
• The figures were shared during an interview with British journalist Piers Morgan, published on Tuesday evening.
• Both Ukrainian and Russian governments rarely disclose their own casualty numbers, and independent verification of such figures is challenging.
• Western intelligence estimates suggest up to 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers and more than double that number of Russian soldiers have died since the war began nearly three years ago.
• The war has also resulted in thousands of civilian deaths, predominantly on the Ukrainian side, as the conflict continues with no resolution in sight.
