Last week, Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky accused the Wall Street Journal of lying when the paper claimed that around 80,000 Ukrainian troops have been killed 400,000 more wounded.
In February, Zelensky said 31,000 Ukrainian troops have been killed in two years of fighting. The Washington Post then reported in April that the Ukrainian leader had “vastly downplayed” the toll.Russia has previously estimated Ukraine’s losses at around half a million troops.
