Zelensky says nearly 28,000 Russian soldiers were eliminated in June, with video evidence

He made the announcement during a speech at the NATO summit in Turkey on Tuesday.

According to the president's account on X, he also said that the Ukrainian side has video confirmation for each of the eliminated opponents, and that the vast majority were hit by drones.

Frankly, we feel no pride in this. We say it to show what modern warfare looks like - a war we did not start, but one we are forced to wage to defend our country.

Zelenskyy uses the term “eliminated.” It is not clear whether this refers only to killed soldiers or whether the wounded are also included.
