Ukrainian military casualties are now between 100 and 200 per day, according to Mykhailo Podolyak, a senior adviser to Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who spoke with the BBC on Thursday, APA reports.

Zelenskyy said last week that the Ukrainian army was losing 60 to 100 soldiers a day.

Podolyak said Ukraine needs hundreds of western artillery systems to level the playing field with Russia in the eastern Donbas region.

"The Russian forces have thrown pretty much everything non-nuclear at the front and that includes heavy artillery, multiple rocket launch systems and aviation.”

"Our demands for artillery are not just some kind of whim... but an objective need when it comes to the situation on the battlefield."
