Ammon News - Volodymyr Zelensky says 31,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed during Russia's full-scale invasion.
Typically, Ukrainian officials do not make casualty figures public, and other estimates are much higher.
It comes after the defence minister said half of all Western aid for Ukraine has been delayed, costing lives and territory.
Mr Zelensky said on Sunday that he was providing an updated death toll in response to the inflated figures that Russia has quoted.
"31,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died in this war. Not 300,000 or 150,000. But each of these losses is a great loss for us."
