19 августа 2023

The troop deaths in the war in Ukraine have already amounted to half a million people. This shocking figure is cited by the "New York Times" with reference to sources in the official structures of the United States with a caveat: estimates may be inaccurate.

As for the total number of troops, according to the Americans, Russia has more than 1 million 300 thousand people, while the AFU has only 500 thousand. The information of the American edition was picked up by the British Times. But it made a strange conclusion that Kiev should be given F-16 fighter jets. Is it so that there would be even more victims?

In any case, American-made fighter jets may be delivered to Ukraine no sooner than a year from now, Dutch media reported. In the meantime, the Ukrainian armed forces will be supported only by the German concern Rheinmetall.
