Every day in battles in the Donbass, up to a thousand Ukrainian defenders die or was injured, on average – from 200 to 500 dead. This was stated by the head of the Ukrainian delegation at negotiations with the Russian Federation David Arahamia, writes Axios.
Earlier, President Vladimir Zelensky announced the death of 60-100 Ukrainian military every day. According to Arahamia, over the past two weeks this number has grown significantly.
The deputy added that about a million people served in the Ukrainian army, there is an opportunity to call on two million more. Arahamia says that the Armed Forces have the strength to continue the struggle, in particular, in the Donbass.
To confront with the Russian Federation, Ukraine is now not enough weapons and ammunition.
“We have people trained to attack, counterattack, but for this we need weapons,” says Arahamia.
He also said that despite the freezing of official negotiations with the Russian Federation, the telephone dialogue continues: they communicate with the Russians once or twice a week.
according to the forecast of Arahamia, the Russian Federation will fully feel the influence of Western sanctions after three to four years.
