At the moment when the war in Ukraine is full of gunsmoke, the data on combat losses has become part of the contest between the two sides.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared that the sacrifice of every Ukrainian soldier is equivalent to the death of about six Russian soldiers on average.
The Russian side said the opposite, saying that the death of every Russian soldier roughly led to the death of about 5 Ukrainian soldiers.
Proponents of Zelensky's view argue that Ukraine's combat losses are mainly borne by mercenaries and foreign volunteers, so the actual losses of the Ukrainian regular army may be much lower than Zelensky's claims.
These people pointed out that Zelensky's statement reflects to a certain extent the efficient combat capability of the Ukrainian army, while also helping to maintain domestic morale and international support.
Voices questioning Zelensky's claims are also not uncommon.
They accuse Zelensky of trying to exaggerate Ukraine's military strength, when in reality the resources and mobilization capabilities of the Ukrainian regular army are already quite limited.
These views believe that overestimating Ukraine's military strength will not only bring challenges on the actual battlefield, but may also cause unnecessary misunderstandings and expectations at home and abroad.
Ukraine faces severe resource depletion and human casualties, and the fighting has profoundly affected its society and economy.
Russia has also suffered severe economic pressure under the sanctions of Western countries, and it is a competition of national strength as a whole.
The attitude of the international community towards this war is also diverse.
The United States is a staunch supporter of Ukraine and continues to provide military and economic assistance to it, while diplomatically actively promoting the expansion of sanctions against Russia.
The humanitarian crisis brought about by the war is becoming more and more serious, involving countless innocent people and seriously threatening lives and property, and these effects will persist for a long time and may spread throughout the European region.
There is a large discrepancy between the claims of the two sides of the war on the proportion of battle losses, which makes it difficult to accurately assess the real battle situation.
Regardless of the official figures, the real-world impact of war is deeply felt in everyone's mind.
This conflict is not only a geopolitical contest, but also a severe test of human civilization and morality.
