The Ukrainian Defense Ministry is reporting that 3,500 Russian soldiers have been killed in approximately 48 hours since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began.
To provide some context, the Soviet Union lost 14,453 soldiers in 10 years in Afghanistan between 1979 and 1989, and the United States lost 2,420 soldiers in 20 years in Afghanistan between 2001 and 2021.
Ukraine is reporting 3,500 dead Russians in 48 hours.
Information warfare goes hand in hand with any conflict, and is a necessity of course, but there are reasonable lies, and then there are fantastic lies. The side that tells the more fantastic lies is generally the side that ends up losing, and whoever kills 3,500 Russians in 48 hours should be rolling up to Moscow, not negotiating a ceasefire.
On that note, I see a lot of claims, but don’t share everything because I can’t validate it, since much of it is fake news.
