As the war in Ukraine continues for the 13th day, what is the number of soldiers and civilians killed? Only speculations and claims by both Russia and Ukraine are doing the rounds with no official count on the deaths yet.
On March 6, Ukraine claimed that Russia lost about 11,000 soldiers. They also claimed to have grounded 300 tanks, shot down more than 40 aircraft and 48 helicopters.
The Russians had only made an official declaration on March 2 about the casualty. They had never countered the claims of the Ukraine. Russia said that 498 of its soldiers lost their lives fighting in Ukraine and another 1,597 wounded,
