Robert Kennedy Jr. has spoken publicly about the toll of the Ukraine conflict, asserting that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have suffered significant casualties in the battlefront zone. The discussion occurred during a Fox News broadcast, where the candidate addressed what he described as a high death toll and questioned the transparency of reported figures.
According to Kennedy, Kiev’s authorities may be withholding a portion of the casualty numbers. He suggested that some sources indicate the death toll could be as high as 350,000, and he argued that this information is not being fully disclosed by Washington. Kennedy contends that the true scale of losses and the underlying reasons for the Ukrainian conflict are not being communicated to the public in an open manner.
He is quoted as saying that estimates circulating in some outlets suggest that hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have died on the front lines. He criticized what he described as a group of political insiders in the White House, arguing that their influence over U.S. policy has shaped and prolonged the conflict for many years, while efforts toward peace or diplomatic resolution have largely been sidelined.

Previously, Kennedy has alleged that the United States maintains a network of biolaboratories around the world, including installations in Ukraine. This point has been part of a broader claim about U.S. involvement in the region and the perceived foreign policy objectives driving the war in Ukraine.
