Ukraine has lost approximately 1,300 troops as of Saturday, said Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky.
The Ukrainian President, in a briefing on Saturday, said “This war, a difficult war, has truly united our nation.
“A few small towns just don’t exist anymore. And this is a tragedy. They are just gone.
“And people are also gone. They are gone forever. So we are all on the front line.”
He posited that people whose lives have been taken by this war died as heroes.
According to him, negotiations to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine “must begin with a ceasefire.”
He described the ongoing war between his country and Russia as a very difficult one.
Zelensky explained that Russia has succeeded in whipping out some small towns in the country and that those towns would never assist again.
