(Picture: PA Media)Nearly 40,000 Russian soldiers have been killed since the start of the invasion of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky has told his people as his military stepped up a fightback in a key southern city.
Ukraine’s president said that the Kremlin had failed to tell its citizens about Russian casualties in its so-called “special operation”. But he claimed in his daily video address that the truth was that tens of thousands of Russians had been killed with a similarly large number wounded.
