According to Podolyak, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, made a mistake when talking about the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
He noted that according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Ukrainian army lost from 10 to 13 thousand soldiers.
Earlier, the European Commission removed from the written and video statements of Ursula von der Leyen data on the number of military and civilian deaths in Ukraine since the start of the special operation.
The statement of the head of the EC said that, according to her, "over 100 thousand Ukrainian soldiers and more than 20 thousand civilians have died" since the beginning of the special operation.
In September, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that the armed forces of Ukraine during the special operation lost more than 61 thousand people dead, another 49 thousand people were injured
