Ukraine** Zelenskyy said yesterday that Ukraine lost 31,000 people in a Russian military strike. So, is the situation about the 31,000 people he says correct? I don't think so. Below, let's take an objective and rational look at the highest mortality rate among Ukrainian servicemen.

31,000 people, it's too low. Presumably, the Ukrainian government counts only regular servicemen of the Ukrainian army who died in battle. In fact, since the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war, many Ukrainian mercenaries have popped up all over the world. Those mercenaries went to the battlefield to make money, and many mercenaries didn't even bother to sign. It is documented that a significant part of the Ukrainian army belongs to the army. In addition to this, there are a large number of mercenaries, as well as a large number of outsiders, who are all supporters of Ukraine.

And those servicemen are completely separated from the Ukrainian army, so the number of people they died in the battle does not represent the number of professional soldiers. What's more, the more than 31,000 people mentioned by Zelensky are only the number of people killed in this battle. So, now another question arises, and that is how many people are missing. On the battlefield, the number of deaths is the highest, and only then is the number of missing. It's not clear now.
Over the past two years, 31,000 people have died in the war, that is, an average of 42 deaths per day. This may be just a simple statistic in war, and the real number of people plus the number of deaths in informal combat units is certainly more than that. In the midst of battle, there is often a saying that one's own achievements are exaggerated and one's losses are downplayed, which is also a combat convention. This has always been the case from Greece to Persia and now to modern warfare.
On the battlefield, it's not just statistics, there's more to it. Zelensky's ** is just to send a political signal, and it has no special significance. The real death toll will not be available until after the war, when we have a comprehensive figure.
