Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has provided a rare assessment of battlefield losses during an interview with a French television network.

Zelenskyy said an estimated 55,000 of his country’s soldiers have been killed since Russia launched a full-scale invasion in February 2022.

“And there are a great number Ukraine lists as missing,” he told France 2, which translated his comments.

Can't believe he was allowed to say that. Gonna make a lot of people angry.

He didn’t actually say anything about Palestinians. He just provided a number and OP used that for this headline.

France 2 is overrated.

Edit: I see that is the news source and not some typo.

I believe there is more evil happening right now than at any other time during my life.

If it makes you feel better, the post 9/11 invasions by the United States and allies killed way more people. The evil remained pretty consistent.
