According to Washington, the losses of the Russian Federation during the winter reached 100,000 soldiers, of which 20,000 were killed.

Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said that Washington does not have reliable information about Russia’s losses in Ukraine . 

Asked by propagandists to comment on the White House spokesman’s statement that 20,000 Russian soldiers have died in Ukraine over the past five months, Peskov replied: “As absolutely taken from the ceiling.” 

“Washington has no way to give any correct figures, they do not have such data, and this is how it should be treated,” Peskov said.

Putin’s spokesman added that in this matter “one should be guided only by the figures published by the Russian Ministry of Defense in a timely manner.” 

At the same time, the Kremlin did not announce the actual data of the Ministry of Defense Shoigu on Russian losses in Ukraine. The last time the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported Russian losses was in September 2022.

  1. Putin’s spokesman added that in this matter “one should be guided only by the figures published by the Russian Ministry of Defense in a timely manner.”

    What figures? You have never published any, not that they would be believed anyway.

  2. “Asked by propagandists to comment on the White House spokesman’s statement that 20,000 Russian soldiers have died in Ukraine over the past five months,”

    The figure of 20,000 is much too low. We reached the 100,000 mark just before Christmas and we’re now at over 190,000.

    • Exactly. Plus there are reports that a full half of the wounded die in the hospitals. And if the US is counting caskets, body bags or funerals it is only half too since many turned into fertilizer or ashes from mobile crematoriums.

      • Let’s not forget our fury friends, the stray dogs and rats, who enjoy a stream of free meals. No one counts them, either.
