    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Zelenskyy said that the number was far lower than estimates given by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s government.

    He also said that “tens of thousands of civilians” had been killed in occupied areas of Ukraine, but said that no exact figures would be available until the war was over.

    It’s the first time that Kyiv has confirmed the number of its losses since the start of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022.

    The most recent data from the Defense Ministry, published in January 2023, pointed to just over 6,000 deaths, although reports from U.S. and U.K. officials put that number significantly higher.

    A U.S. intelligence report declassified in mid-December 2023 estimated that 315,000 Russian troops had been killed or wounded in Ukraine.

    A joint investigation published by Mediazona and Meduza, another independent Russian news site, indicates that the rate of Russia’s losses in Ukraine is not slowing and that Moscow is losing about 120 men a day.
