Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shared sad news about the war. He said about 55,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died. This is a very high number. It shows Ukraine is making a big sacrifice. They are fighting to protect their country.
The president also said many soldiers are still missing. This makes the war's cost harder to know. The number of deaths is higher than before. In February 2025, the number was over 46,000. The fighting is very hard, especially in the east. This makes peace talks difficult.
Ukraine and Russia had peace talks recently. They met in Abu Dhabi. However, Russia's government has not changed its mind. They say the fighting will continue. Russia wants Ukraine to agree to its main demands. These demands include giving up land in eastern Ukraine. This makes peace very hard to find.
The war is also hurting many people. A UN report said over 2,500 civilians died in 2025. More than 12,000 were hurt. Many people have left their homes. Buildings have been destroyed. There is also constant danger from bombs. Analysts think the war will continue for a long time.
