Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed that 43,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died and 370,000 have been injured since Russia’s invasion began, marking a rare admission of the conflict’s toll.

He also claimed 198,000 Russian soldiers have been killed, though casualty figures from both sides remain unverified.

The update comes amid heightened fighting, with Russia suffering record monthly casualties in November.

Talks with French President Macron and U.S. Trump focused on a potential peace deal, with Zelensky emphasizing the need for international guarantees to secure lasting peace against Russian aggression.

    Who’s “we” ? Are you speaking for the person I replied to ? Because Im not sure they’d be happy with the nonsense you are spouting .

    If by “funny” you are implying they were surreptitiously armed by Russia, well, they are collaborators - of course Russia armed them. It’s where collaborators traditionally get their kit .

    Equally obviously, the vote you’ve referred to firstly isn’t particularly relevant 20 years later and certainly doesn’t mean collaborators don’t exist, which is the point being made .

    The comment I replied to implied that there were no “nazis” because they are led by a jew. I’m pointing out that there were thousands of far right Ukrainians that collaborated with Russia - shaking the conflict as multidimensional.

      There have been thousands of far-right Americans who have, in some manner or another, been collaborating with Russia. It doesn’t make it reasonable or appropriate for Russia to invade the US, another sovereign nation (like Ukraine).
