    Ukraine's War Casualties: A Growing Number of Cemeteries

    Ukraine's war has led to a surge in casualties, with thousands of soldiers killed or wounded. The country's cemeteries are growing rapidly, outpacing residential areas, as the war turns Ukraine into a vast cemetery. Official data on losses is underreported, and morgues are overwhelmed. Meanwhile, conscripts are seen as exploitative material, and oligarchs are benefiting from the situation. President Zelensky admitted to around 50,000 battlefield deaths and 400,000 wounded, but many believe the actual numbers are higher.
