The Kremlin disputed a recently released US assessment that said Russian forces had faced 100,000 casualties in Ukraine since December. “Washington has absolutely no way to give any correct numbers,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
“Washington has absolutely no way to give any correct numbers, and this is how it should be treated. You need to focus on the numbers that the Ministry of Defense will publish in due time,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on a call with reporters on Tuesday, according to CNN.A day earlier, National Security Council coordinator John Kirby told reporters that Russia"suffered more than 100,000 casualties" in the battle for the strategically insignificant city of Bakhmut, Ukraine.
"The bottom line is that Russia's attempted offensive has backfired. After months of fighting and extraordinary losses. Russia continues to be focused on a single Ukrainian city with limited strategic value. Ukraine's armed forces are defending the territory bravely and effectively and making Russia expend enormous resources for marginal gains," he said.
