Since the start of the special military operation in Ukraine, the irretrievable losses of the Ukrainian army amounted to 400,000, a military expert, ex-intelligence officer, ex-special forces officer, retired colonel Anatoly Matviychuk said in an interview with URA.RU.
According to him, if you add the wounded and sick to them, then the figure will reach 700-800 thousand people. The expert recalled that the seventh or eighth wave of mobilization is now underway in Ukraine, and more and more people are leaving the country.
Matviychuk also recalled that by the beginning of 2022, the population of Ukraine was 37-38 million people, and at the moment, according to UNESCO statistics, about 25 million.
He also noted that few Ukrainian military have the motivation to fight.
“Young people who were motivated by nationalist ideas either died or realized the incompetence of their actions. The conflict is turning into a routine, which is still supported by the nationalist battalions and the administrative-repressive apparatus of the state,” he said.
