498 Dead Russians

From BBC Breaking News:

“Nearly 500 Russian troops killed – Moscow”

Russia's defence ministry has given its first figures for casualties sustained during its invasion of Ukraine. It says 498 Russian soldiers have been killed and 1,597 wounded so far, according to Russian media reports. The claim is significantly less than Ukraine's assessment of Russian casualties - Kyiv claims it has killed 5,840 Russian troops. Russia has also claimed that more than 2,870 Ukrainian service members have been killed and about 3,700 wounded. Kyiv has not given any figure. The BBC cannot independently verify either the Russian or Ukrainian claims, but the UK Ministry of Defence believes that Moscow's forces have suffered heavy losses. Earlier Ukraine's emergency services said more than 2,000 civilians and 10 emergency services personnel had been killed so far.

^ For the first time the Russian Government admits Russian Soldiers have been killed. I think the number given is much higher, but the fact that the Government admitted all was not as well as they preach on State Media tells even more then the actually number of the dead. I hope the numbers of dead Russians fighting in Ukraine grows to the thousands. Only after their Relatives back in Russia see their Fathers, Sons, Brothers, Husbands return in Body bags will they start to openly question Putin. ^
