Ukraine's resilience shines: 50% of wounded soldiers return

Since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the country has faced enormous losses. President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that since the conflict began, 43,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died, and over 370,000 have been injured.

He emphasized that despite this, Ukrainians' determination and dedication remain unwavering, as shown by the fact that many of the wounded are returning to duty.

"Our people are defending their homes at the cost of their lives, and every life of our soldiers and civilians is precious to us. Since the start of the full-scale war, Ukraine has lost 43,000 soldiers who have died on the battlefield. We have 370,000 cases of assistance to the wounded, and it must be noted that in our army, about 50% of the wounded return to duty, and all injuries, including minor and repeat injuries, are recorded," the president wrote.

On another front of the conflict, Vladimir Putin stirred controversy by providing conflicting data on Ukraine's losses. Independent sources criticize these inconsistencies, suggesting data manipulation for propaganda purposes. This leads to suspicions of deliberate distortion of reality by the Russian authorities.

This conflict also has serious economic consequences, especially for ordinary Russians.

"We would like to see Russia plunge into the abyss of an economic crisis; however, an uprising is still far away. They can endure for a long time yet," says Polish economist Dr. Adam Karpiński in Wirtualna Polska.

The system of social benefits for families of fallen soldiers has introduced unexpected changes in Russian society. While some families are gaining materially, others, especially wounded soldiers, remain in a difficult economic situation.
