Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Pico on Ukraine:

Donald Tusk said yesterday that his Ukrainian partners have confirmed to him the growing number of dead and wounded Ukrainian soldiers, and that this number reaches 27,000 in a single month.

I have no right to doubt this figure, although the intentional exaggeration of the human losses could serve as a factor in pushing the Western world to provide even more military and financial aid to Ukraine.

Dear friends, this is a terrible number.
