Defence Ministry reveals ratio of casualties on eastern front

These are the statistics, not every day, and the average rate is lower, but nevertheless. This is writes Deputy Minister of Defence Anna Malyar.

Unfortunately, casualties are an inevitable consequence of war. There is no war without losses. One of the main tasks of a warring party is to destroy the physical strength of the enemy," Malyar wrote.

Malyar stressed that one of the main tasks of the belligerent is the destruction of the enemy's physical strength:

But the enemy's losses are many times greater. This is despite the fact that they had an advantage in terms of personnel and weapons. Their losses were higher in 2014-2015 as well, but now that ratio has almost doubled in our favour.
