Podolyak announced Ukraine's losses in the war with Russia
Ukrainian military died much less than the civilian population, said Mykhailo Podolyak.
The losses of the Ukrainian army during the war unleashed by the aggressor country Russia amount to 13 thousand dead. This figure was announced by adviser to the head of the Office of the President Mikhail Podolyak on Thursday, December 1.
"Undoubtedly, Mrs. Ursula (European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen - ed.) was mistaken - this is obvious. Therefore, they removed this video, removed these figures. We have official estimates of the General Staff, which are voiced by the Supreme Commander. They reach from 10 thousand up to 12.5-13 thousand dead... Yes, we have more injuries," Podolyak said.
At the same time, he stressed that the number of dead Ukrainian civilians is "definitely not 20 thousand." This figure, according to Podolyak, is much higher, especially considering how many mass graves and torture chambers are found after the de-occupation of Ukrainian territories.
“We say at various international platforms that Russia is not fighting the military – it is obviously losing the war there. Russia is fighting the civilian population,” Podolyak said.
Speaking about the losses of the aggressors, the adviser to the head of the Presidential Office stated that "Russia has practically lost its contract army." In his opinion, we are talking about about 100 thousand dead and up to 150 thousand seriously wounded, sick, missing.
"This is a very difficult story for the Russian Federation... 200-250 thousand total losses in this war. Otherwise, no mobilization is needed," Podolyak summed up.
Recall, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the total losses of the Russian Federation are approaching 90 thousand. In the past 24 hours alone, 550 Russian invaders were killed.
It was also reported that Russia suffered record losses in Ukraine in November.
