Zelenskyj: Ukraine's highest losses in the fight against Russia!

According to his estimates, there are already around400,000 Ukrainian soldiersdied, including45,100 own soldiers. In addition, there are about390,000 Ukrainian troops injuredbeen. In a confrontational interview, Zelensky made it clear that he was ready to negotiate peace with Russian President Vladimir Putin again, but he sees Putin as an enemy and will not be “nice” to him. He believes that the negotiations should only take place if the US and European governments are also present to ensure peace for the citizens of Ukraine. Zelensky stressed that the negotiations were limited by a 2022 decree that barred talks with Russia and were not impossible, as Putin recently claimed. This is reported by the crown.

On the same day in Kiev, Zelensky announced another measure to increase pressure on Russia's so-called shadow fleet. He signed a decree imposing sanctions againstmore than 50 Russian shipmasters and an Iranian captainincludes. These captains' ships are part of an operation through which Russia exports oil without complying with international sanctions. The decree stipulates that their assets in Ukraine will be confiscated and their access to Ukraine will be banned in order to make it more difficult to recruit experienced captains for this fleet, they said n-tv.

In addition, Zelensky said that Russia's interest in serious peace negotiations is in question. Ukrainian security forces reported a high death rate in 2024, with nearly three times as many deaths as births, underscoring the country's dire humanitarian condition. As Zelensky increases pressure on Russia with new measures, international observers continue to view the course of the conflict with great concern and call for comprehensive support for Ukraine in order to achieve stabilization in the region.
