🇷🇺🇺🇦 PUTIN DENIES STARTING THE WAR RUSSIA LAUNCHED
Vladimir Putin 🇷🇺 - "We did not initiate hostilities by launching the special military operation."
Putin is once again trying to rewrite the most basic fact of this war: Russia crossed Ukraine’s border, invaded Ukrainian territory and started the largest war in Europe since World War II.
This was not self-defence. It was aggression dressed up as propaganda, and Moscow is still trying to make the victim responsible for the invasion carried out by the aggressor.
NYT: A study published Wednesday found Russia has suffered 1.4 million troops killed or wounded since invading Ukraine in February 2022.
About 450,000 have been killed, four times more than all U.S. combat deaths since World War II combined
