Summary
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed that 43,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died and 370,000 have been injured since Russia’s invasion began, marking a rare admission of the conflict’s toll.
He also claimed 198,000 Russian soldiers have been killed, though casualty figures from both sides remain unverified.
The update comes amid heightened fighting, with Russia suffering record monthly casualties in November.
Talks with French President Macron and U.S. Trump focused on a potential peace deal, with Zelensky emphasizing the need for international guarantees to secure lasting peace against Russian aggression.
This is what I replied to, pre-edit:
Moving the goalposts won’t work. You said shambles and there is nothing supporting your false statement.
As for your edit, you are attemping still to justify using a completely faulty statement by regurgitating things that prove other statements, ironically, absent in the post that kicked off people calling you out.
Total disorder in the EU is not a fact.
“I can simplify the reasoning, maybe it helps. I should be more inclusive in my writing, it was a bit ableist.”
That should have been enough to justify it to anyone arguing in good faith.
It is in shambles, if you choose to ignore it that’s on you. It’s not a faulty statement, it’s actual fact.
It’s objectively false, there is no total disorder in the EU. If there were, it’d be all over news.
Maybe you just don’t understand the words.
