"Excuse me, but, frankly, I don't want to be too open on this issue, because the Russians will understand what is happening with our army. So, we have about 50,000 servicemen killed and about 400,000 wounded. There is also a large number of those considered missing."
Answering the host's question about how many Russians have died in the war compared to Ukraine, Zelenskyy also stated: "They have 1 million 600 thousand total losses and about 700 thousand killed."
When asked by the journalist if Ukraine is currently winning, Zelenskyy replied: "In the real situation on the battlefield, what is important is that the initiative is not in Russia's hands. We are not losing, and they are not winning."
