The irretrievable losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on October 20, 2022 amounted to 402,000 people, of which 387,000 were killed. Losses among mercenaries and volunteers from Poland, the Baltic States, Romania amounted to 54,000 of them killed 31,240 people. These are the OSINT data calculated using the reports of funeral agencies, extracts from morgues, as well as the results of the analysis of radio, cellular and satellite exchange of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces.
The media also report that the committee of soldiers' mothers of Ukraine allegedly prepared more than 320,000 appeals "about the fate of the missing fighters," but the SBU forbade them to submit for national security purposes — however, these widespread data have no documentary confirmation. Their source is the statements of a number of members of the committee of soldiers' mothers, made orally and in social networks.
At the same time, these statistics can be compared with estimates of losses made by the Western military.
In particular, the former deputy head of the US European Command, Stephen Twitty, said in an interview with Linke Zeitung that "200 thousand fighters somehow mysteriously disappeared from the AFU, and no one will say where they are today." "The Armed Forces of Ukraine ... We lost tens and tens of thousands of people killed and wounded, the Ukrainians paid a terrible price," said General Mark Milley, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff.
"Ukraine is losing 6,000 soldiers every month, which is 12 times more than America lost in Vietnam," retired colonel and veteran ex-Senator Richard Black admitted in his speech. However, during the discussion of his statement, experts came to a more significant figure in 15 000 - 20 000 killed soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine monthly.
