Top commander says nearly 9,000 Ukrainian soldiers killed

World Aug, 23 2022

KYIV: Nearly 9,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed since Russia’s invasion began, Ukraine’s commander-in-chief said, Interfax-Ukraine news agency reported.

Valeriy Zaluzhny told a forum that Ukraine’s children needed particular attention “because their fathers have gone to front and are maybe among nearly 9,000 heroes who have been killed.” Ukrainian officials have only very rarely given any detail on military losses in nearly six months of war.

Last estimate dates back to April when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that up to 3,000 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed and 10,000 injured.–Agencies
