Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that the Russian army could lose up to 300,000 more soldiers by the end of 2022, bringing the total number of Russian deaths in the five-year conflict with Ukraine to nearly one million. This warning comes in an interview with American TV channel CBS News. According to Zelenskyy, Russian President Vladimir Putin is continuing the war due to a lack of pressure from his own society, but he believes this pressure is already mounting.
Zelenskyy attributes Putin's refusal to end the war to his fear of appearing weak, as he fears that a premature cessation of hostilities could result in angry Russian soldiers returning home and turning against him. The Ukrainian president believes that Putin's ultimate objective is the full occupation of the Donetsk region, a goal he claims is being continually postponed by Russian authorities.
