2022, President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed in a rare statement on Ukrainian losses posted on X.This figure contrasts a claim made earlier the same day on Dec. 8 by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, who wrote on his Truth Social platform that Ukrainian military losses had reached "400,000 soldiers, and many more civilians."In his post, Zelensky wrote that "Ukraine has lost 43,000 soldiers killed in action on the battlefield," adding that there have been "370,000 cases of medical assistance for the wounded," which includes light or repeat injuries.It is unclear if Trump was referring to total casualties — soldiers killed and injured — in his Truth Social post.Zelensky also noted that approximately half of the soldiers wounded in action later return to the battlefield.
