Axios: Ukraine suffering up to 1,000 casualties per day in Donbas, official says 

Up to 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers are being killed or wounded each day in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, with 200 to 500 killed on average and many more wounded, a top Ukrainian official said on Wednesday.

WNU Editor:This is the first time that a Ukrainian official is admitting that Ukraine is losing on average 200 - 500 soldiers a day in the Donbas. The Russian Defense Ministry does not make public their casualties, but they said a few days ago that 600 Ukrainian soldiers were being killed each day in the Ukraine theater of operations.
