NATO head Mark Rutte claims the number of people killed or severely injured in the war between Russia and Ukraine has passed by a million casualties, stating that as many as 10,000 people are killed or wounded every week. “Every day, this war causes more devastation and death,” Rutte said during a press conference in Brussels this week amid a meeting of the NATO Ministers of Foreign Affairs.
The exact number of casualties since the war began in February of 2022 is unknown, as neither Russia nor Ukraine publish any official figures. However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has claimed that only 43,000 soldiers have been killed in the fighting, but many experts put the fatality rates for Ukraine much higher.
