Zelenskyy says that in both December and January, Ukrainian forces killed and badly wounded more than 30,000 to 35,000 Russian troops.

So overall, the size of the Russian contingent in Ukraine is not growing this year. For our army, the mission is clear, to destroy more Russian occupiers, because they are occupiers, and the goal is specific, at least 50,000 per month," he noted.
