The enemy is currently suffering record losses on the front
The Russian army is experiencing significant losses at the front – about 30-35 thousand people per month. The ratio of losses between Ukrainian and Russian troops is approximately 1:8.
As reported by RBC-Ukraine, this was stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview with Le Monde.

The president emphasized that the lack of progress on the front in Ukraine effectively signifies defeat for Russia.
According to him, most negotiations are based on the idea that Russia is advancing while Ukraine is retreating, and Moscow often succeeds in imposing this narrative.
“And, unfortunately, Moscow is very good at selling this discourse to the United States,” he said.
Zelensky also revealed the record losses of Russia. The president noted that at the beginning of the war, the ratio was about one to three.
“In the second half of 2025 and in January and February 2026, Russia lost six soldiers for every Ukrainian soldier lost, and in some areas – eight. They are currently losing an alarming number of people – 30-35 thousand people a month,” the president stated.

The Ukrainian leader also predicted whether the Kremlin would decide to initiate large-scale mobilization.
“Will they decide to go for a large mobilization? I can’t say. So far, they have been afraid of such steps and have only been contracting people for large sums of money,” he explained.
Volodymyr Zelensky also explained why Ukraine reacts so sensitively to the lifting of sanctions on Russia and Belarus.
“Because it’s money. And money is not just tanks. No one fights with tanks anymore. Money is drones. Money is people. People are contracts. And if they don’t have money for contracts, their forces diminish,” the president concluded.
Recall that recently the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrsky, reported that from March 17 to 20, Russia intensified its offensive in several directions, leading to fierce battles.
Tens of thousands of soldiers were thrown into the so-called “meat assaults,” but their attempts ended in failure with catastrophic losses.
According to Syrsky, during just four days of intense assault actions, the enemy lost more than 6,090 servicemen killed and wounded.
