PARIS, Feb 4 (Reuters) – The number of Ukrainian soldiers killed on the battlefield as a result of the country’s war with Russia is estimated at 55,000, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy told France 2 TV on Wednesday.
“In Ukraine, officially the number of soldiers killed on the battlefield – either professionals or those conscripted – is 55,000,” said Zelenskiy, in a pre-recorded interview that was broadcast on Wednesday.
Zelenskiy, whose comments were translated into French, added that on top of that casualties figure was a ‘large number of people’ considered as officially missing.
