As the war enters its 151st day, the Ukraine president remains confident his country's troops will beat the Russian invaders.
But it's hard to confirm these numbers, as Moscow does not often share its troop fatalities. The latest death count from Moscow was on March 25, when Russia said 1,351 Russian soldiers had died since February 24.
The same difficulty is present in Ukraine's death count, as the country does not share its own troop fatalities either.The situation on the ground in Ukraine is just as murky, and possibly less promising than the Ukrainian president's assurance would suggest. On Saturday—only hours after Ukraine's and Russia's representatives signed off on a deal to get Ukraine's blocked grain out of the country and sent to the world markets— the port of Odessa was hit by Russian missiles, in an attack that was condemned by U.S.
As of Sunday, the ISW says Russian troops continue to launch limited ground attacks northwest of Slovyansk, in the Donetsk region.The ISW reports that Ukrainian forces are"likely preparing to launch or have launched a counteroffensive in Kherson Oblast as of July 23," though the institute explains that"open-source visibility on the progress and tempo of the counteroffensive will likely be limited and lag behind events.
Ukraine's President Zelensky has appeared defiant in his latest message to the Ukrainian people, saying the country will beat invading Russian forces.
