Top Ukrainian security officials are refuting U.S. estimates of how many Ukrainian soldiers have been killed or injured in the war. Last week, the U.S. chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, said around 100,000 Ukrainian troops have been killed or injured.
Ukrainian officials are now saying that figure is “not entirely true.”
Oleksiy Danilov, Ukraine’s secretary of National Security and Defense Council, said the casualty figures are “definitely not those.”

Holy shit it hasn’t even been a year long conflict and there are already estimates this high coming from the west? This has been a very bloody war just with these numbers alone. It’s fucked up that the west is so firmly against peace despite knowing the toll Ukraine must pay.
That’s exactly why they’re against the peace deal. They’re not the ones footing the bill
