Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the aggressor country russia, 55,000 servicemen of the Ukrainian Defense Forces have been killed. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made the statement in an interview with France 2, as quoted by Le Monde.
"In Ukraine, officially, the number of killed servicemen on the battlefield, whether they are regular military or mobilized, is 55,000," Zelenskyy said in response to a question about Ukraine's losses.
The President added that there are also "a large number of people" who are missing.
As a reminder, in February 2025, Zelenskyy announced Ukraine's losses in the war. Then, according to him, the number of losses of the Ukrainian army amounted to 46,000 killed and another 380,000 wounded soldiers.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on January 13, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Oleksandr Syryskyi, said that in 2025, the Ukrainian Defense Forces reduced the number of their personnel losses by 13%.
In August 2025, President Zelenskyy said that the daily ratio of losses between Ukraine and russia was 1 to 3. It was about both the killed and the wounded.
Also, in August 2025, US President Donald Trump said that since the beginning of 2025, the russian army had lost 14 times more soldiers than the Ukrainian army.
