 The New York Times reveals Ukraine's war losses. Western officials and analysts have estimated more than 150,000 Ukrainian troops have been killed or wounded in addition to tens of thousands of civilian casualties the New York Times informs. The publication said that President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine announced that his government was dismissing all of the country's regional military recruitment chiefs to crack down on corruption after multiple revelations of officers taking bribes to let men evade being drafted into fighting the Russian invasion. To continue the war, Zelensky must assure Ukrainians that their sacrifices have been worthwhile and coax them to do more while satisfying his Western backers that he does not tolerate corruption and that the fortune they have poured into propping up his military and government has not been wasted, the publication noted. US and European officials say there is no evidence that aid to Ukraine has been stolen or abused, but even the perception of fraud could threaten political support. It's worth pointing out that finding accurate figures for casualties on either side of the war is immensely difficult. Both the Russian and Ukrainian governments have quoted figures that fall below estimates made by international intelligence sources. Any reports on Ukrainian and Russian deaths are by their nature contentious, even from respected analysts or intelligence sources, given the lack of truly verifiable information obtainable at this point in the conflict.
