The adviser to the Ukrainian presidency, Mykhailo Podolyak, estimates that “between 10,000 and 13,000” Kiev servicemen have been killed since the beginning of the war between Russia and Ukraine. “We have the official estimates of the army general staff – he said in an interview with Channel 24 – they range between 10,000 and 13,000 dead. We are talking openly about the number of fallen”.
According to Podolyak, the figures provided by the president of the EU commission Ursula von der Leyen who spoke of 100,000 dead are incorrect. “It’s clear, that’s why they deleted the video and corrected this figure,” she added, referring to the fact that a commission spokesman admitted the mistake, saying the figure referred to dead and wounded. The Ukrainian adviser also believes that the number of civilians killed is much higher than the 20 thousand, also mentioned by the president of the EU Commission.
