our people defend their homes at the cost of their lives, and every life of our soldiers and our civilians is valuable to US. 
since the beginning of a full-scale war, Ukraine has lost 43 thousand soldiers who died on the battlefield, 370 thousand cases of assistance to the wounded, and this is taking into account that in our army approximately 50% of the Wounded Return to service, and all injuries are recorded, including light and repeated ones

He stressed that one of the key differences between the Russian army and the Defense Forces of Ukraine is the level of development of front – line medicine, which is much higher in the Ukrainian army.

Since September of this year, Russia has been spending people on the battlefield in a ratio of 5 and even 6 against 1 in our country. so they want to seize more land before the world's pressure on them can increase to unbearable. In addition, we do not forget about our people in Russian captivity – these are thousands of people, military and civilian, and some of them have been held captive since 2014, when the occupation began. 
since February 24, 2022, we have already managed to return 3,935 of our people from Russia: 3,767 soldiers and 168 civilians. We have to get everyone back, and that's still a lot of work to do. And we must establish the truth about all our missing people

The president also noted that the war cannot end with just a piece of paper and a few signatures, and a cease-fire without guarantees can be rekindled at any time, as Putin has already done.

To ensure that there will be no more losses of Ukrainians and Ukrainian women, it is necessary to guarantee the reliability of peace and not turn a blind eye to the occupation. We all know Putin very well-he is sick of wars. He began his career with a brutal war against Chechnya and constantly ignites other wars. It can only be stopped by force, by the power of world leaders who can become world leaders. We are counting on America and the whole world to stop Putin. The only thing he fears is America and the unity of the world. It is about peace through force that we are talking with all our partners – about real peace and the steps and guarantees that people and the state that Russia attacked need for this
