Ukrainian forces "lost" 8,000 people, "killed" 110,000 Russians? Trump really dares to brag...
Trump's "nonsense" is now no longer judged by the number of figures.
In addition to the tweet about "ordering the deployment of two nuclear submarines to warn Medvedev," on the 1st, media noticed that Trump actually also posted another tweet about the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
The general meaning was that not long ago, someone told Trump that since the beginning of this year, the Russian army had "lost" 112,500 people, while the Ukrainian army only "lost" 8,000 people. Therefore, Trump claimed that the Russia-Ukraine war could not continue anymore. Although it is "Biden's war," not "Trump's war," he still hopes to try to end the war.
To be honest, the set of numbers that Trump listed for the casualties in the Russia-Ukraine war have a lot of problems: If the Ukrainian army has "lost" 8,000 people and "killed" 110,000 Russian soldiers, doesn't this mean that Ukraine is about to win the war and Russia will collapse soon? Why does Trump want to mediate for a ceasefire so urgently?
It's really not to be said, but so far, even though Ukraine's defense line has been continuously retreating, NATO and the West really believe that Russian casualties are higher than Ukrainian ones.
For example, one of the reasons for the failure of the Ukrainian spring counteroffensive in 2023 was that NATO, when formulating the operational plan, referred to the data on Russian casualties collected in 2022, assuming that as long as the Western-provided "Leopard 2" tanks launched an attack, the Russian front would "collapse without a fight"...
