Washington: A US official has claimed that 100,000 Russian soldiers have been killed and wounded since the invasion of Ukraine. According to Al Jazeera’s report, US General Mark Milley added that the Ukrainian army is facing almost the same number of casualties. Asked about the prospect of diplomacy in Ukraine, the US general said the premature refusal to negotiate in World War I had increased human suffering and caused millions more deaths.
He told the Economic Club of New York that moments should be seized when there is an opportunity for dialogue, when peace can be achieved. Earlier, Russia announced that its forces would withdraw from the western bank of the Dnieper River near the strategic southern Ukrainian city of Kherson.
