These figures have convinced the U.S. presidential administration.

Russia is losing nearly two hundred soldiers - dead or seriously wounded - per kilometer of occupied Ukrainian territory.

Russian President Vladimir Zelensky said this, according to The Atlantic.

"Ukraine is not losing. And I think President Trump's administration has realized that. In a sense, it may have surprised them, because Russian propaganda works for them as well. We recently did the math: one kilometer of occupied Ukrainian land costs them 170 casualties - people killed or wounded enough that they won't come back. We have all the evidence of this. To say that in the last six months they are winning somewhere? No," Zelensky said.

The president said he understood that the US could pull out of the peace talks because Trump could switch to America's domestic problems, and Ukraine would not want that.

"That would be bad. We don't want the Americans to leave the talks. If Trump steps aside, Russia will no longer be willing to compromise. It's easier for us to end the war with the Americans because they can force the Russians. I believe that Trump today is the only person capable of doing this," the Ukrainian head added.
