Trump stated that Ukraine has lost 8,000 soldiers since the beginning of the year, while Russia has lost 112,000:
I have just been informed that nearly 20,000 Russian soldiers have died this month in this ridiculous war with Ukraine. Since the beginning of the year, Russia has already lost 112,500 servicemen. These are horrific, unnecessary deaths!
Ukraine has also suffered heavy losses — since January 1, 2025, approximately 8,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died, and this figure does not account for the missing in action.
There are also casualties among Ukraine's civilian population, although on a smaller scale — Russian rockets continue to fall on Kyiv and other cities.
This is a war that should never have happened. This is Biden's war, not "Trump's."
I am here just to try to stop it!
