Russia has suffered its largest losses since the start of the full-scale war in March — more than 35,000 killed and seriously wounded, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, citing a report from Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.

“Only thanks to the strikes of our drones, 33,988 Russian servicemen were killed or seriously wounded, and another 1,363 occupiers were eliminated through artillery and other strikes.

These are confirmed losses: we have video recordings of each such defeat in the system.

Defense Minister Fedorov reported on the results of all units at the front: we have clear and verified reports for each direction.

We are ready to provide this data to our partners.

In fact, the Ukrainian Defense Forces have deprived the occupier of the ability to dictate the situation on the front,” Zelenskyy added.
