Zelensky reveals actual losses of Ukrainian and Russian forces

In an interview with Fox News, Vladimir Zelensky stated Russian losses at 1.6 million, with about 700,000 killed. Ukrainian losses are about 50,000 dead and 400,000 wounded. The article also cites NYT data on over two million casualties over four years of war.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in an interview with the American TV channel Fox News, disclosed data on the losses of the Ukrainian Defense Forces and Russian occupiers during the war. When asked about Russian losses, he replied: 'Their losses are 1 million 600 thousand. About 700 thousand killed.' When asked about the losses of the Ukrainian army, Zelensky initially noted that he did not want to be frank so as not to let the Russians understand the situation, but then gave figures: 'We have about 50 thousand soldiers killed. And about 400 thousand wounded. And a huge number missing in action.' The article also references data from The New York Times, according to which over four years of war, more than two million Russian and Ukrainian servicemen were killed or wounded. It also provides the dynamics of Zelensky's previous statements: in February 2024, he reported 31 thousand Ukrainian soldiers killed, and in February 2026, 55 thousand. At the end of the material, it is reminded that earlier 'Kursor' wrote about the war as a geopolitical defeat for Russia.
