Zelensky: Russia suffers major casualties in war every month; over 35,000 killed and severely wounded in April

According to Ukrinform, the president announced this on Telegram following reports from servicemen and the defense minister on the results of April.

“Russia suffers significant personnel losses every month – with over 35,000 killed and badly wounded in April. There is clear evidence for each strike. The Defense Forces of Ukraine are maintaining a stable level of protection of our positions. The task is to build on these results,” Zelensky stated.

He added that the number of medium-range strikes has also increased significantly. According to him, there are now twice as many strikes within a range of 20+ kilometers as in March and four times as many as in February. “And there will be even more. This is a priority area,” the president said.

He also emphasized the need to increase the number of robotic missions.

“In April, UGVs carried out more than 10,200 logistical and evacuation missions, and this is a significant result. But given the scale of the front, much more of this work is needed. Accordingly, contracting UGVs, their production and supply to the troops must continue to grow. May must deliver higher figures, and this has been set as a target indicator for the military and the Ministry of Defense,” Zelensky noted.

As reported, in March, Russia suffered similar losses on the front lines—more than 35,000 occupiers were killed or severely wounded.
