Between 70,000 and 80,000 Russian soldiers were killed or wounded in Ukraine.

 The Pentagon has said that between 70,000 and 80,000 Russian soldiers have been killed or wounded since the war in Ukraine began in late February.

According to the American news agency AP, US Defense Undersecretary Colin Call said that "three or four thousand" armored vehicles of the Russian army were also damaged and a large number of them were launched from the air and sea after the start of the war.

He told reporters that the losses were too high and that the Russian military had not achieved President Vladimir Putin's goals at the start of the war.

Colin Call acknowledged that the Ukrainian army also suffered losses on the battlefield, but did not give a death toll.

According to him, there is loss of life on both sides. This war is the most intense conventional conflict since World War II.

Earlier, the United States announced a billion dollar military aid to Ukraine.

Under the newly announced aid, rockets, ammunition and other weapons will be supplied to Ukrainian forces directly from the Defense Ministry's weapons depot.

The announcement of US aid comes after reports that Russia was moving troops and weapons to the southern coastal city to prevent a counterattack from Ukraine.

The announced aid includes additional rockets for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HAMARS), thousands of artillery shells, mortar systems and other weapons.

According to military commanders and other US officials, the Hemaris and artillery systems have played an important role in preventing Russia's occupation of Ukraine.
