"Up to 13,000 Ukrainian soldiers killed" - Civ.

"Suas le 13,000 saighdiúr de chuid na hÚcráine maraithe" - Cív.

Up to 13,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed in the fighting since Russia began its invasion of that country in February, an official in Kyiv said today.

Maraíodh suas le 13,000 saighdiúr de chuid na hÚcráine sa trodaíocht ó chuir an Rúis tús lena n-ionradh ar an tír sin i mí Feabhra, a dúirt oifigeach i gCív inniu.

"We have received official estimates, which show that between 10,000 and 13,000 soldiers have been lost", said Mykhailo Podolyak, who is a senior adviser to the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky.

"Tá meastúcháin oifigiúla faighte againn, a léiríonn gur idir 10,000 saighdiúr agus 13,000 atá caillte", a dúirt Mykhailo Podolyak, atá mar chomhairleoir sinsearach d'Uachtarán na hÚcráine, Volodymyr Zelensky.

In June, during battles in the Lugansk region, President Zelensky said that up to 100 Ukrainian soldiers were being killed every day.

I mí an Mheithimh, le linn cathanna i réigiún Lugansk, dúirt an tUachtarán Zelensky go raibh suas le 100 saighdiúr de chuid na hÚcráine á marú gach lá.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said 5,937 Russian soldiers had been killed during the war so far.

Dúirt Aire Cosanta na Rúise, Sergei Shoigu, gur maraíodh 5,937 saighdiúr de chuid na Rúise le linn an chogaidh go nuige sin.

It has been attributed to the authorities - on both sides - that much more Ireland has been lost than they have indicated, but for the sake of the morale of the troops, they have publicly provided low estimates.

Tá sé curtha i leith na n-údarás - ar an dá thaobh - go bhfuil i bhfad Éireann níos mó caillte ná mar atá tugtha le fios acu, ach ar mhaithe le meanma na dtrúpaí, go bhfuil meastúcháin ísle curtha ar fáil go poiblí acu.

A US military expert, General Mark Milley, argued last month that up to 100,000 Russians had been killed or wounded in the fighting in the past seven months and, he said, the same amount of damage was likely to have been done. of Ukrainian forces.

D'áitigh saineolaí míleata de chuid na Stát Aontaithe, an Ginearál Mark Milley, an mhí seo caite gur maraíodh nó gur gortaíodh suas le 100,000 Rúiseach sa trodaíocht le seacht mí anuas agus is dócha, a dúirt sé, go bhfuil an méid dochair chéanna déanta d'fhórsaí na hÚcráine.

But that US estimate has not been independently confirmed.

Ach níl an meastúchán sin de chuid na Stát Aontaithe deimhnithe go neamhspleách.

Meanwhile, President Zelensky announced yesterday that sanctions will be imposed on religious organizations in Ukraine that are linked to Russia.

Idir an dá linn, thug an tUachtarán Zelensky le fios inné go gcuirfear smachtbhannaí ar eagrais reiligiúnacha san Úcráin a bhfuil baint acu leis an Rúis.

He also said in his speech last night that yesterday (December 1) exactly 31 years ago, the people of Ukraine voted for independence from the Soviet Union.

Dúirt sé ina óráid aréir freisin gur cothrom an lae inné (1 Nollaig) 31 bliain ó shin, gur vótáil muintir na hÚcráine ar son neamhspleáchais ón Aontas Soivéadach.

"We will not lose courage.

"Ní chaillfidh muid misneach.

We will be free forever.

Beidh muid saor go deo.

We will never again be a small stone in a big empire", said President Zelensky.

Ní bheidh muid riamh arís mar chloch bheag in impireacht mhór", a dúirt an tUachtarán Zelensky.

Earlier, the President of the United States, Joe Biden, and the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, said that Vladimir Putin would be brought to account for his invasion of Ukraine.

Níos túisce, dúirt Uachtarán na Stát Aontaithe, Joe Biden,
