(ANSA) - BELGRADE, MARCH 21 - Komsomolskaya Pravda, a "pro-Kremlin tabloid", reported that, according to the Moscow Defense Minister, "9,861 Russian soldiers have died" since the start of the war in Ukraine and "16,153 those injured" ".
The Moscow Times writes it.
The information was included in an article published on the Komsomolskaya Pravda website on Sunday evening, still accessible online but which is currently modified, no longer referring to the alleged casualty figures.
The article on Komsomolskaya Pravda was discovered, among others, by Yaroslav Trofimov, the Wall Street Journal's chief foreign correspondent and in the meantime republished on Twitter by many users.
"The last official Russian figure, on March 2, was 498, fascinating that someone leaked" far higher figures, Trofimov noted on Twitter.
