Russian media claims 1.7 million Ukrainian soldiers have been killed or missing!
Russian media reported that Russian hackers infiltrated the database of the Ukrainian Armed Forces General Staff, obtaining information about 1.7 million Ukrainian military personnel who were killed or missing during the Russian special military operation in Ukraine.
The Ukrainian counter-disinformation center immediately denied this, calling it a false news story spread by Russian propaganda agencies.
"In reality, this is completely absurd fake news, because Ukraine has never had a regular army of 1.7 million people since its independence. As of January 2025, the number of Ukrainian troops was 880,000."
