According to Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyi, he has no right to reveal the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the war against the Russian Federation, so that the enemy does not receive important information. However, the president emphasized that the enemy is losing many more of its soldiers than the Armed Forces.
Points of attention
- Zelenskyy stated that the Russian Federation is losing many more of its soldiers than the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
- This indicates a difference in approaches to the protection of one's own military.
- Zelensky emphasized that the Russian army does not fight for the survival of its soldiers, but constantly resorts to "meat assaults".
The command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is trying to minimize personnel losses
The head of state does not hide that for him this is a very painful issue that is constantly in the center of attention.
Unfortunately, I see these changes every day and they are not in a positive direction. It does not become less. And I can't tell you this information now, because that's the moment. We do not want the Russians to know all the information.
Volodymyr Zelenskyi
President of Ukraine
The Ukrainian leader also added that the difference in killed and wounded in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the Russian Army as of today is extremely significant.
According to Volodymyr Zelenskyi, if the Armed Forces of Ukraine have one killed for every 6-8 wounded, then the Russian occupiers have every second or third.
That is, it means that they do not fight for the survival of their person, they leave him on the battlefield. And that's why I can't compare this process with "how much more we can do," the President of Ukraine emphasized.
