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.”

    Remember that this is only looking at KIA and critically wounded service members. True rates of wounded, captured, or sick soldiers usually go at a ratio that is 2 to 6 times higher then the KIA rate.

    Ukraine will cripple their country for decades to come as they send their entire current male population to become disabled in a useless meat grinder.

        This is already going into the genocide narrative.

      Also a noticeable amount of the population emigrated thanks to the war, it’s going to turn into a temporary wasteland.

        Great for selling the country out. Wall Street is already creaming itself.
