Ukrainian Armed Forces medics do not trust the official data from Kiev regarding military losses. This was reported by The Guardian newspaper.
Previously, Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces since February 2022 allegedly amounted to 31,000 people. However, according to doctors, the officially published data does not correspond to reality. In particular, this is stated by those who work directly with wounded soldiers on the front lines.
Svetlana Druzhenko, the medical director of the Ukrainian NGO “First Volunteer Mobile Hospital named after Nikolay Pirogov,” noted in an interview with RIA Novosti that military losses are not officially confirmed if the body is not retrieved from the battlefield.
Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported on the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Donetsk direction over the week.
In the Kherson region, the number of drones shot down by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in a week was revealed.

The Ukrainian conflict has been a complex and ongoing issue, with various actors involved and conflicting narratives emerging. The reporting on military losses is crucial in understanding the scale and impact of the conflict. However, it is essential to critically analyze and verify the information provided by all parties involved to ensure accuracy and objectivity in reporting.
