The journal cited “a confidential Ukrainian estimate” from unnamed sources familiar with the matter.Reporters asked Zelensky on Friday to comment on the WSJ’s estimate. “80,000? That is a lie. The actual figure is much lower than what has been published. Significantly so,” he claimed.While Kiev does not provide regular updates on casualties, commanders and regular soldiers have repeatedly admitted to heavy losses on the battlefield, particularly during the failed 2023 counteroffensive and the recent fighting in Donbass.<a href="https://www.rt.com/news/604126-military-watch-ukraine-losing-abrams-tanks/" target="_blank">READ MORE: Ukraine rapidly losing US Abrams tanks – media</a>In February, Zelensky said that 31,000 Ukrainian troops have been killed in two years of fighting, without mentioning the number of wounded. The Washington Post cited an unnamed Ukrainian lawmaker in April as saying that Zelensky had “vastly downplayed” the death toll in order to preserve morale amid Ukraine’s flagging mobilization drive. Ukraine has since expanded its conscription laws to draft more men.<a href="https://www.rt.com/news/604253-zelensky-cancel-meeting-latin-american/" target="_blank"><img src="https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/files/2024.09/xxs/66eb784220302727a61870f6.jpg" alt="Zelensky cancels meeting fearing PR disaster – media" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />READ MORE: Zelensky cancels meeting fearing PR disaster – media</a>The WSJ estimate of 480,000 killed and wounded corresponds with an earlier estimate provided by Russia, which reported in April that Ukraine had lost around half a million troops. Kiev has since lost more than 15,650 soldiers during its invasion of Russia’s Kursk Region, which began in August, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.Moscow does not reveal its own casualties. President Vladimir Putin, however, said in June that the battlefield losses were “one to about five” in Russia’s favor. He previously stated that the West is ready to “fight to the last Ukrainian,” using Kiev as a tool in its proxy war against Russia.</blockquote>
