The war also continues to claim many Ukrainian lives. The latest Russian missile strike has killed 17 people and injured at least 70 more.
Ukraine’s President Zelensky called on his country’s allies to offer the same support as they have shown to Israel. A $49 billion proposed new aid package is due to be voted on in Washington in the coming days.

Last year you said 300,000 dead Russian soldiers. Lmao.
-
Whatever the figures, it is a shocking waste of [mainly] men's lives on both sides.
-
Love that people STILL dont know the difference between CASUALTIES and DEATHS in war.....
-
No way it’s 50 thousand. This seems like a massive down play
-
How did it go from 300,000 to 50,000
-
If 50 thousand Russia soldiers have died Why doesn’t the bbc tell us how many Ukraine soldiers have died
-
Wait a minute, every other source claims well over 450,000 casualties on the Russian side with almost half of them KIA! How could everyone else be so wrong?!?
-
That’s wild, over twice the amount of Soviet soldiers that died in Afghanistan over 10 years
-
Only 50,000? BBC has been sold to Russia?
-
Imagine going to fight for someone you don’t like against someone you don’t hate.
-
Only 50,000? I thought the numbers were much higher!
-
Ukraine got the aid. Ukraine is Russia’s Vietnam. It’s so hard for these poor people. The Ukrainians have suffered tremendously
-
Too many idiots in this comment section, the 50,000 figure is just how many were fully confirmed to have died in Ukraine, the actual death toll is likely much higher with a ton of casualties too.
-
It passed 50,000 at the end of 2022.
-
Way lower than the MSM told us. Wasn't it supposed to be above 500,000 or even million? 😢
-
its no longer 500 000 ?
-
BBC Now tell us how many Ukrainian soldiers have died
-
50,000: I think that the decimal place has been moved.
-
Whenever you see a BBC story you can guarantee the comments will be filled with [1] bots (they hate free press stories), [2] people who didn't watch or comprehend what was in the video, and [3] 'whatabouters' who ignore what the subject matter is and try to change it to another subject. When will I learn not to scroll down? 🙄

These media are no longer taken seriously
