The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said that saving the lives of Ukrainian soldiers is the highest priority, unlike the Russian command.

In an interview with the German TV channel ZDF, Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said that the main task and the main value for Ukraine is the lives of our military, UNN reports.

For us, the main task and the main value is the life of our soldiers, officers, and those combat units that are directly performing combat missions. We cannot afford the kind of attitude that Russian commanders have, where they practice "meat assaults." I would rather leave some position, but I will not allow the death of all personnel. And for them, the value of a soldier's life is practically zero. And we can see it 

- Syrsky said.

He added that Russian losses are 7-8 times higher than Ukrainian ones.

"In general, losses are a very sensitive topic for everyone. For any country, any society," Syrsky summarized.
