Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has stated that Russian military deaths are now 14 times higher than those of Ukrainian forces, according to a report by the Kyiv Independent.
The disclosure of new casualty figures highlights the intense attrition characterizing the ongoing conflict.
4 million soldiers since the full-scale invasion began, encompassing those killed, missing, or wounded.
Zelensky's comments serve as a signal of the disproportionate losses Moscow is reportedly sustaining, a narrative that Kyiv continues to emphasize to bolster domestic morale and international support.
The report also noted a separate incident in Western Ukraine, where five special forces soldiers are missing and three were injured following an ammunition detonation at a training ground.
Such accidents underscore the persistent risks within Ukraine's military infrastructure, even away from the front lines.
These developments come as broader assessments suggest Russian military losses have reached approximately 1.4 million soldiers since the full-scale invasion began, encompassing those killed, missing, or wounded.
