Zelensky: 55,000 Ukrainian soldiers killed, thousands missing, as war persists
Zelensky told France TV on Feb. 4 that officially 55,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed since Russia’s full-scale invasion, with many others missing; he noted this does not include 2014–2022 casualties and warned Russia could incur up to 800,000 more corpses if it tried to take eastern Ukraine, a point raised amid ongoing trilateral peace talks.
