BBC: Ukrainian casualties: Kyiv losing up to 200 troops a day - Zelensky aide
A senior Ukrainian presidential aide has told the BBC that between 100 and 200 Ukrainian troops are being killed on the front line every day.
Mykhaylo Podolyak said Ukraine needed hundreds of Western artillery systems to level the playing field with Russia in the eastern Donbas region.
He also said Kyiv is not ready to resume peace talks with Moscow.
Ukrainian troops are under relentless bombardment as Russian forces attempt to take control of the whole of Donbas.
"The Russian forces have thrown pretty much everything non-nuclear at the front and that includes heavy artillery, multiple rocket launch systems and aviation," Mr Podolyak said.

WNU Editor: President Zelensky said last week that Ukraine was losing 60 - 100 soldiers a day. Ukraine's defense minister said a few days ago that Ukraine was losing 100 soldiers a day. And now a senior aide to the President is saying that Ukraine is losing 100 - 200 soldiers a day.
I posted two weeks ago that non-government Ukrainian sources were saying that the army was losing anywhere from 200 - 300 soldiers a day. It looks like the real number is around 200/day, and I can only speculate on how many are being injured.
