At least 25,000 Ukrainians have lost their limbs due to the invasion of the Russian Federation - Sky News

Neither Ukrainian nor Russian officials officially publish figures that reflect the price of war, but they can be much higher, journalists say. At least 25,000 Ukrainians have lost their limbs after the full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation into the territory of Ukraine last year. The exact figures are difficult to check and they can be much higher. About it reports Sky News. The number of crippled Russian soldiers is unknown, but it is also considered huge.

Neither Ukrainian nor Russian officials officially want to publish numbers that reflect the price of war. "The figure is not official, and some of them are associated with multiple limb loss. This is a stadium full of disabled people," says Mike Corcoran, a clinic co -founder, about a Ukrainian assessment of 25,000 people.

During the 18 months of war in Ukraine, the number of Ukrainians with amputated limbs was at least 10 times more than Americans, crippled over 20 years in Iraq and Afghanistan combined. Sky News also noted that the US government has supplied billions of dollars in Ukraine in the form of "security packages", but this assistance will not allow to finance the treatment of wounded Ukrainian military.

"The Ministry of Defense did not receive any specific requests for improving prosthetics for wounded Ukrainian servicemen," said US Department of Defense Garron Garn. However, he noted that there are several military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Landstula (US military medical institution in Germany) in Germany). "We welcome the work of various charitable organizations that are involved in providing Ukrainians who need prosthetic help," says the US Defense Ministry spokesman.
