According to the Ukrainian General Staff, almost 110,000 Russian soldiers have died in Ukraine.
In his evening video message, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia had already lost almost 100,000 soldiers. „So far, there are almost 100,000 soldiers, in a few days, the losses of the occupiers will increase to 110,000,“ says Zelenskyj. „And for what? No one in Moscow has the answer and will not (in the future) have one.” The leadership in Moscow is waging war, wasting “human lives – other people’s lives, not their loved ones, not their own lives, but other people’s lives ‚ the Ukrainian President stressed.
Zelenskyj’s prognosis could come true. The Ukrainian General Staff said that 99,230 Russian soldiers (as of December 20, 2022) have died in the war against Ukraine – an increase of 430 compared to the previous day.
