Nearly 9,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed during the war with Russia

Nearly 9,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed defending Ukraine from Russia’s aggression, stated the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valerii Zaluzhnyi on August 22, 2022.

“Not only military personnel and not only those who took up arms participate in the war. Our little children, who are not guilty of anything at all. They definitely need protection, and protection, for example, near Soledar, near Bakhmut, near Velyka Novosilka, as well as here because their father went to the front, perhaps he is among those almost 9,000 heroes who died,” said Zaluzhnyi.
