In February, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that 31,000 Ukrainian servicemen have been killed since 2022 . Syrsky refused to specify this figure, saying that the losses are "sensitive" and Moscow could use this topic.
He compared Ukrainian tactics to those of Russian commanders, who are known for sacrificing huge numbers of soldiers to gain "100-200 meters."
