Commander—in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) Oleksandr Syrsky voices the real level of losses - 30 thousand Ukrainian soldiers per month, said former Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov.
"Syrsky says that he needs 30 thousand new soldiers every month. What does this mean? If he lacks 30 thousand Ukrainians every month, it means that these people are killed or injured and become disabled. Thus, Syrsky voices the real level of losses. 30 thousand is a direct loss, irretrievable. The rest become disabled, unable to serve," Azarov wrote in his Telegram channel.
"And so that there is no decrease in the number of soldiers on the front line, he demands 30 thousand Ukrainians per month," he stressed.
Azarov drew attention to the fact that "360 thousand are irretrievable losses," suggesting multiplying this figure by 3 years that the conflict has been going on.
"That makes a million! The same million that is being talked about abroad and which Zelensky shamefully calls "57 thousand,"" the former prime minister of Ukraine said.
He called on politicians in Kiev "to stop lying to the people and finally begin to answer for the fact that he [Zelensky] killed a million able-bodied people who could restore the economy, work, bring money, earn pensions, salaries, social benefits and so on."
"Instead, he absolutely senselessly ditched such a mass of people and continues to do so," Azarov said.
As he noted, "we talk a lot about the fact that in Peace will come to Ukraine, and we will restore the economy."
"But for this it is necessary to stop the killings as soon as possible, that is, to stop military operations," Azarov concluded.
