On Wednesday, the “Mash” channel on Telegram reported, citing the database of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which was hacked by Russian hackers, that Ukraine’s losses since the start of the special military operation have exceeded 1.7 million military personnel. A representative of the “Killnet” group, in response to a question from “Sputnik” about the accuracy of these figures, said: “We confirm that, of course.” The operation began on February 24, 2022, aiming to protect the residents of Donbas, who have been subjected to persecution and genocide by the Kyiv regime for years. Notably, German “Leopard 2” tanks, along with many American and British armored vehicles, as well as numerous tanks and vehicles provided by NATO countries, met their fate through Russian strikes.
