As many as 13,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed since the start of Russia's invasion in February, a senior adviser to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said.
“We have official estimates from the General Staff … And they range from 10,000 … to 13,000 dead,” Mykhailo Podolyak told Ukraine's Channel 24 on Thursday.
Mr Zelenskyy will make the official data public “when the right moment comes”, he added.
In June, as Russian forces battled to take full control of the easternmost Luhansk province, Mr Zelenskyy said Ukraine was losing “60 to 100 soldiers per day, killed in action, and around 500 people wounded in action”.
Russian Defence Minister Sergey Shoigu said in September that 5,937 Russian troops had been killed in the nearly seven months of fighting to that point.
Both sides are suspected of downplaying their losses to avoid damaging the morale of their troops.
Top US general Mark Milley last month said more than 100,000 Russian military personnel have been killed or wounded in Ukraine, with Kyiv's forces likely to be suffering similar casualties.
Those figures — which could not be independently confirmed — are the most precise to date from the US government.
Thousands of Ukrainian civilians have been killed in the worst fighting in Europe in decades.
Farage on Muslim Brotherhood
Nigel Farage told Reform's annual conference that the party will proscribe the Muslim Brotherhood if he becomes Prime Minister.
"We will stop dangerous organisations with links to terrorism operating in our country," he said. "Quite why we've been so gutless about this – both Labour and Conservative – I don't know.
“All across the Middle East, countries have banned and proscribed the Muslim Brotherhood as a dangerous organisation. We will do the very same.”
It is 10 years since a ground-breaking report into the Muslim Brotherhood by Sir John Jenkins.
Among the former diplomat's findings was an assessment that “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” has “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
The prime minister at the time, David Cameron, who commissioned the report, said membership or association with the Muslim Brotherhood was a "possible indicator of extremism" but it would not be banned.
