Amidst the ongoing war in Ukraine for the last one month, now the streets of Ukraine are being filled with the corpses of Russian soldiers. NATO countries estimate that between 7 thousand and 15 thousand Russian soldiers have been killed in the war with Ukraine. On the other hand, Russia has not yet told how many of its soldiers have been killed in the war in Ukraine. In Ukraine, the bodies of Russian soldiers are scattered from near Kyiv to the Mykolav area and there is no one to pick them up.
According to the report of CNN, these corpses of Russian soldiers are now becoming a problem. The governor of the Mykolav area, Vitaly Kim, appealed to locals on Saturday to collect the bodies and stuff them in bags as the temperature continued to drop. He told the people that we are not animals. We should do this. He has made this appeal to the local people at a time when thousands of Ukrainians have been killed in attacks by Russian forces.
7000 to 15000 soldiers of Russia were killed
Mykolav is the area when the Russian army first attacked on 24 February. Here the Russian army had to return leaving its tanks etc. after a vigorous retaliation by the Ukrainian army. Meanwhile, NATO claimed on Wednesday that between 7,000 and 15,000 Russian soldiers were killed in fighting in Ukraine for the past four weeks. Prior to this, Russia had lost about 15,000 soldiers in Afghanistan in 10 years. In this way Russia is now suffering like Afghanistan war.
A senior NATO official said the coalition’s assessment was based on information received from Ukrainian officials and intelligence gathered from open sources that Russia may or may not have deliberately released. Ukraine has released little information on its military losses, and Western countries have not provided any estimates. However, two weeks ago Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that some 1,300 of his soldiers had been killed in the war. Russia began its military crackdown on Ukraine on February 24, and this Wednesday marks four weeks of fighting. This is the largest military action since the Second World War.
Zelensky calls for global protest
Ukrainian President Zelensky on Thursday called on people around the world to protest against Russia. One month has been completed on 24 February since Russia’s ongoing invasion of Kyiv. Zelensky said in his video message, ‘Russia’s war is not just a war against Ukraine. Its meaning is very broad, Russia started a war against independence, it is only the beginning for Russia on the land of Ukraine.’ Russia is trying to defeat the freedom of all peoples in Europe. “Russia is trying to show that only cruelty matters, people don’t matter,” he added. That is why we all must stop Russia, the world must stop Russia. The world should stop the war.’
