The Ukrainian military announced that the number of Russian soldiers killed since the start of the military operation in February 2022, has risen to 369,160 after 700 soldiers were killed last Friday.
According to the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Russia lost 6,650 tanks, 11,269 armored vehicles, 8,728 artillery systems, 957 multiple rocket launcher systems, 646 air defense systems, 329 fighter jets, 324 helicopters, 23 warships, as well as 11,632 vehicles and fuel tanks.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy firmly ruled out a cease-fire in the ongoing conflict with Russia, expressing concern that it would allow Kremlin forces to rearm and regroup.
Zelenskyy emphasized that a pause on the Ukrainian battlefield would not halt the overall war and might disadvantage Kyiv’s forces in the long run.
