The number of casualties in the Ukrainian Armed Forces is not small, but it will not be made public until the end of the war, Oleksiy Arestovich, an adviser to the Ukrainian presidential office, said on Tuesday.
“It simply came to our notice then. I know them with almost no accuracy, but I won’t name them. Until the end of the war. We have losses, and they are not small. They are much smaller than the Russians, but they are not small, “the official told the Ukrainian edition of the British broadcaster BBC.
“Every [zaudējums] will be counted, everyone will be remembered, every family will be shown respect, help will be provided, ”said Arestovich.
No army in the world names its losses during the war, because, firstly, it is a secret of war, and secondly, it can help the opponent to identify the effectiveness of his actions, the adviser explained.
The General Staff of the Ukrainian Army reported on Tuesday that the loss of life force of Russian troops in Ukraine has reached about 17,200 soldiers.
