The leader of the parliamentary faction of Ukraine’s ruling Servant of the People party, David Arahamia, who led the Ukrainian delegation to the talks with Russia, said the Ukrainian Armed Forces (APU) lost “up to a thousand soldiers killed and wounded in Donbass every day.”
The average daily death toll for Ukrainian servicemen ranges from 200 to 500. He announced such data in an interview with the American information portal Axios.
According to Arahamiya, VFU’s losses have increased significantly in the last two weeks of fighting. According to him, however, Ukraine has recruited about a million people in its army and can recruit another two million, which will compensate for the growing losses, UNIAN reports.
