Proportion of those killed in battle in Ukrainian army lower than in russian one - Zelenskyy in interview with Shapiro

The proportion of those killed in battle in the Ukrainian army is lower than in the russian one, for every ten wounded there is one killed, while in russia there will be five killed. This was announced by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with the American journalist Ben Shapiro.

"I am not comparing the russian army with the Ukrainian one, but look at the proportion of those wounded in battle and those killed in battle... If we have one to ten, that is, one killed, then we have ten wounded in battle. Now, in the case of the russians, for every ten losses there will be five wounded, five killed, or six to four," Zelenskyy said.

He noted that the Ukrainian forces have a different level of medical support, and this knowledge was provided to partners.

The Ukrainian army now has about 800,000 or 600,000 volunteers, each case of mobilization is checked separately by the Ground Forces and the Ministry of Defense, the President said.

"In Ukraine, there are now 800,000, or 600,000 people who went voluntarily to the army. This was the law on mobilization, but people voluntarily went to defend Ukraine," he said.

The President noted that one can have different attitudes towards mobilization, but mobilization has been around since the beginning of the war, in accordance with the martial law legislation.

"We want there to be a just peace, calm, and there would be nothing, neither mobilization nor martial law. But while there is a war, while we have the law, there is mobilization," Zelenskyy added.

Recall, Trump earlier stated that Ukraine lost 400,000 soldiers in the war with russia.

Zelenskyy clarified Trump's words about the loss of 400,000 Ukrainian soldiers.
