Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that 43,000 soldiers have been killed since Russia’s invasion began, along with 370,000 injuries, highlighting a significant rise since February. In contrast, he estimated 198,000 Russian deaths and 550,000 injuries, figures that remain unverified. The report comes after incoming US President-elect Donald Trump criticized Ukraine’s casualty claims. Recent intelligence suggests Russian forces have suffered substantial losses, particularly in November. The conflict continues to evolve, with ongoing territorial shifts in eastern Ukraine.
