According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, since the start of Russia's Special Military Operation on February 24, the latter's army have lost about 88,380 soldiers.
We all know Ukrainians are skilled in exaggeration and fabrication, and so we’ll take this flight of fancy, this piece of information with a pinch of salt. Better still, a fistful of salt.
A day after, Ursula von der Leyen tweeted a video of her speech which bore this statement: “…and more than 100,000 Ukrainian military officers have been killed so far”.
Whether she knows it or not, she had inadvertently admitted that Russia is winning in Ukraine.
Netizens were quick to highlight the staggering numbers – and the tweet was deleted, the statistic was edited out from the original video and then, retweeted.
Apparently, this number was way too “sensitive” to share!
And the European Commission president’s deputy chief spokesperson, Dana Spinant had to take to Twitter post-haste to clarify the botch up after Russian state media seized on the death toll – she gritted her teeth before claiming the video had contained an “inaccuracy” and that the 100,000 actually referred to those who had been killed as well as wounded.
Between [Z]elensky and von der Leyen, we alI know who is believable and who is not!
