Up to 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers are killed or wounded every day in the fighting in Donbas. Of these, an average of 200 to 500 were killed and many more were injured, and that number has risen sharply in the past two weeks, said Zelensky, the People's Servant. David Arakhamia. Axios quoted him as saying.
Earlier, President Volodymyr Zelensky said 60 to 100 Ukrainian soldiers would die every day. His adviser Mykhailo Podolyak marked the number of 100-200 people, the Defense Minister of Ukraine spoke of 100 dead and up to 500 injured every day. According to Arakhamia, this number has increased significantly in the last two weeks.

The Telegraph reports that she learned the details of the identity of the captured Americans. The newspaper claims that it is 39-year-old Robert Druke and 27-year-old Andy Hyun. “It is assumed that these are the first American volunteers captured by the Russians,” the publication reads.
The British publication recalls that a trial against two British volunteers in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as well as a captured Moroccan, had previously taken place in Donbas, and that Aiden Eslin and Sean Pinner had been sentenced to death as “mercenaries”. In this regard, The Telegraph believes that the capture of the Americans will have diplomatic weight for the Kremlin's position in terms of the possibility of their exchange on favorable terms.
The journalists managed to obtain a comment from a colleague of captured Americans, who He said anonymously that his comrades-in-arms from the volunteer military unit had been captured last Thursday when the foreigners “ran into” the superiority of the Russian Armed Forces. Forces.

The source said that his unit later sent drones to the area and the Ukrainian armed forces sent a search party, but no one found any bodies or any remains, in connection with which a working version of the capture was immediately born. As Russian telegram channels began to spread the word about “captured American mercenaries,” all doubts disappeared, adding: “We are the only Americans in the area.”
Dryuke, originally from Alabama, is known to have served in Iraq and was there, according to the mother, injured. The woman said that after leaving the army, her son tried to find a job, but suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder. “The U.S. embassy has assured me that they are doing everything in their power to find him,” the ex-soldier's mother told reporters. His fiancée told reporters that he had wanted to enlist in the Ukrainian armed forces since February 24.
