President Donald Trump said Saturday that 25,000 people were killed last month and another 32,000 the month before in the war between Ukraine and Russia

"Last month, 25,000 people died in the Ukraine-Russia war, okay? 25,000," he told reporters on the White House lawn Saturday.

"The month before that, 32,000 people died … mostly soldiers, 97% soldiers. But whether they're soldiers or civilians, think of it: 32,000. Two months ago, 33,000 people; this month, 25,000 people died. What a shame," he added.
