The overall losses of Russian forces on the battlefield currently exceed Ukrainian losses by approximately 3.5 times, while on some days the number of Russian troops killed is seven to nine times higher.

According to an Ukrinform correspondent, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi said this in an interview with Militarnyi.

“Overall losses on the front are currently about 3.5 times higher [for the Russians], while in terms of those killed, depending on the day, the figure sometimes reaches seven times or even nine times,” he said.

Syrskyi stressed that there is no higher value in the Ukrainian army than the life and health of servicemen and women. He assured that Ukraine is on the right path and is doing everything possible to minimize losses among the Defense Forces.
