Recently, Alexei Arestovich, a senior aide to Ukraine's former ** Vladimir Zelensky, revealed a startling news in an interview: Ukraine has lost up to 300,000 soldiers in the conflict with Russia. This figure is much higher than the data previously released by Ukrainian officials, which has attracted widespread attention and discussion in the international community.
Arestovich revealed the news in an interview with journalist Yulia Latynina. He noted that this figure was provided by the top brass of the Ukrainian military, but it was not officially publicly confirmed. He also revealed that the current morale of the Ukrainian army is low, the shortage of personnel is serious, and many soldiers are unable to receive adequate supplies and support on the battlefield.
Arestovich stressed that the main reason why Ukraine's war losses are so great is that Western countries have insufficient military support and assistance to Ukraine for their own interests. He accused Western countries of adopting a short-sighted and selfish policy in the Ukrainian crisis, thinking only about their own interests and influences, while ignoring the interests and safety of the lives of the Ukrainian people.
Arestovich also said that although the Ukrainian army has suffered heavy losses on the battlefield, Western countries have not given Ukraine enough support and assistance, but have instead invested more resources and energy in sanctions and suppression against Russia. In his opinion, this approach is wrong and will only increase tensions between Ukraine and Russia and kill more innocent Ukrainian soldiers.
Western countries did not immediately respond to Arestovich's accusations. However, some analysts pointed out that Arestovich's remarks reflected the dissatisfaction and disappointment of some people in Ukraine with the West. Against the backdrop of the ongoing escalation of the crisis in Ukraine, this sentiment is likely to intensify further.
It is worth noting that Arestovich, as a former assistant to Zelensky, has held important positions in Ukrainian political and military affairs. His revelations and remarks have a certain credibility and authority. However, his specific figures and accusations still need to be further verified and studied.
In any case, this war has already caused huge losses of people and property. For the root causes and responsibilities of this war, all parties need to carry out in-depth reflection and **. At the same time, the international community should strengthen communication and coordination to seek a peaceful solution to avoid further escalation and deterioration of the war.
