President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukraine's victory in the war for its independence would cost tens of thousands of lives.

Source: Zelenskyy's interview with Ukrainian students.

Quote: "This war is definitely a war of independence. We can say that this is a postponed war. Postponed for 30 years, given how we gained independence in 1991. Or indeed for a hundred years, given our past history.

I have no doubt that we will win, and our history will be like the history of other countries that fought for independence and won, that ceased to be petitioners and became subjects.

But we must remember that the price of all this is tens of thousands of lives. The lives of all those killed by the enemy. Tens of thousands."
