Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Thursday that Russian troops are carrying mobile cremation chambers with them as they continue their assault across the country, allegedly to dispose of their own dead and obscure the true number of casualties they have incurred.

Zelenskyy said at a press conference that young Russian soldiers are being used ascannon fodder.

He said it was inhumane.

According to Zelenskyy, a large number of Russians are believed to have died in the conflict, but no one is keeping track of it.

According to the Pentagon, Russian President Putin had 150,000 troops to support the conflict. Most of them have been deployed.

No one is counting them. Zelenskyy said that no one cared about how many died in the shellings.

They knew they were not going to show their families what happened to their children, and they came here to kill us. We don't want to kill them.

In the eight days since the invasion began, people on social media have posted photos and videos of dead Russian soldiers on the side of the road.

According to The Telegraph, mobile crematoriums were expected to be used on the battlefield.

According to The New York Times, Putin promised to give the families of fallen soldiers 5 million rubles, or around $50,000, in the first instance that he publicly acknowledged that Russians have died in the war.

The Russian leader sought to downplay reports that the Ukrainians have put up a stronger defense than he anticipated.

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, over 500 of its soldiers have been killed and another 1,600 have been injured. More than 5,000 Russian troops have been killed by Ukrainian fighters. The New York Times was told by an American official that the figure is more than 2,000.

The first major city to be taken over by Russia was the Ukrainian port city of Kherson.

According to the Pentagon, the Russian military is facing a serious problem with food shortages. According to the Pentagon, some Russian troops are laying down their arms in order to avoid fighting a war that Russian authorities have described as a mission to liberate Ukrainians.
