"Zelensky Reveals 31,000 Ukrainian Troops Killed in Russia Invasion"

Ukrainian President Zelensky revealed that 31,000 Ukrainian troops have been killed since Russia's invasion two years ago, marking the first official estimate of military losses. He also stated that Russia had suffered 500,000 casualties, including 180,000 troops killed in action, but these figures could not be independently verified. A leaked Pentagon document from last year estimated between 15,500 and 17,000 Ukrainian soldiers killed and 35,000 to 42,500 Russian soldiers killed, in line with recent Western assessments.
