Ukraine has lost 43,000 warriors, who have been killed on the battlefield.

That’s according to President Volodymyr Zelensky, who made the statement on social media, Ukrinform reports.

“Since the start of the full-scale war, Ukraine has lost 43,000 soldiers killed in action on the battlefield. There have been 370,000 cases of medical assistance for the wounded. It also needs to be mentioned that in our army approximately half of the soldiers wounded in action are later returning to the battlefield, and that our data also includes light or repeat injuries,” the president wrote on X.

“Our people are defending their homes at the cost of their lives, and every life—of our soldiers and our civilians—is precious to us,” Zelensky stated.

“Updated data on Russian losses show over 750,000 casualties, including 198,000 killed and more than 550,000 wounded,” he noted.

Zelensky emphasized that since September of this year, Russia has been suffering casualties “at a ratio of 5-to-1, or even 6-to-1, compared to us.”

“One of the key distinctions between the Russian army and Ukraine’s Defense Forces is the level of frontline medicine, which is significantly higher in our forces. We are deeply grateful to everyone who supports its development, saves our wounded in action, and facilitates their rehabilitation," the President summed up.
