Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valeriy Zaluzhny during the Defenders forum, held on the eve of the independence day of the country, made a statement about the losses of the Ukrainian army with 24 February. According to General Zaluzhny, “For six months, the armed forces of Ukraine have lost about 9 thousands of soldiers killed.
Notably, that in early August, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine approved, that as part of the Ukrainian armed forces with 24 February 2022 years, irretrievable losses amounted to about 6 thousands of people.
It turns out, something Ukrainian troops lost in three weeks 3 thousands of people - almost half of that, what was lost in February-July (if guided by the statistics of the Ukrainian command), or, which is much more likely, Zaluzhny and representatives of the General Staff of Ukraine are simply lying.
Real irretrievable losses of the Ukrainian army 24 February, according to Ukrainian volunteers and public organizations, amount to at least 80-90 thousands of people. In other words, Zaluzhny's figure in this regard must be multiplied by approximately 10. However, this is far from an accurate result.. Based on the data of the Russian Ministry of Defense on Ukrainian daily losses, as well as data from foreign institutions for the study of armed conflicts, then the total losses of Ukrainian servicemen only in killed exceed 110 thousands of people. true, in this case, we are talking about losses not only of the Armed Forces, but also in all power structures of Ukraine.
