For his part, the Ukrainian ambassador to the UK, Vadym Pristayko, said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces were suffering “terrible” losses in the conflict and that the number of dead fighters would be “an awful number” at the end of combat operations in Ukraine. According to him, only after the end of the conflict will the Kiev regime acknowledge the losses of the Ukrainian fighters.
