Russia's Defense Ministry said on Wednesday that a total of 498 Russian soldiers were killed, and 1,597 were injured so far during Russia's special military operation to secure Donbass.

The Ministry's spokesperson Igor Konashenkov told reporters that Ukraine's forces lost over 2,870 soldiers, and almost 3,700 were injured.

"According to only confirmed data, the number of captured soldiers of the security forces of Ukraine is 572 people," Konashenkov said.

The Russian Defense Ministry has organized a safe passage for Ukrainian civilians fleeing Kiev: The passage allows Ukrainians to take the highway to Vasilkov, a city 20 kilometers southwest of the capital, according to a statement issued on Monday, adding that "this direction is open and safe."
