Zelensky's Bold Claims: 21,000 Wagner Mercenaries Killed and the World's Desire to Eliminate Putin

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claims that at least 21,000 Wagner mercenaries have been killed in Ukraine, with another 80,000 wounded. Zelensky characterizes the private military company as a motivated staff of the Russian army, mostly composed of convicts. The future of the Wagner Group is uncertain following a failed rebellion led by its boss, Yevgeny Prigozhin. Zelensky sees this as an opportunity for Ukraine's counteroffensive, but emphasizes the need to be strategic and value human lives. He also expresses concerns about losing bipartisan support from the United States and states that while he is in danger, it is more dangerous for Russian President Vladimir Putin as the entire world wants to kill him.
