In his interview with Kyodo News released on Zelensky’s official website Monday, the Ukrainian leader argued that since this year’s September after Ukraine launched a counteroffensive in Kursk, Russian losses have outnumbered the ones suffered by Ukraine.
“From the start of the Kursk operation, based on the data we have, Russia’s losses compared to Ukraine’s are 1:8. Eight Russians die for every Ukrainian killed. They have no regard for their people,” said Zelensky.
Zelensky also called out Moscow over their barbarian warfare tactics.
“We are fighting a large army, one that not only outnumbers us but is also better armed. Moreover, it treats its own citizens with shocking indifference, sending soldiers to die without hesitation. If they retreat, they are shot by their own,” said
Addressing reports suggesting Ukrainian losses have reached some 80,000, Zelensky firmly denied it.
“I want to be clear: the number is much lower, significantly so. However, it’s impossible to know exactly how many Ukrainians have died in temporarily occupied territories. The majority of those casualties are civilians, including military personnel, law enforcement, and others caught under occupation,” said the president.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
