Ursula von der Leyen voiced dubious information without specifying where she got it from.

The video with the statement of the head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen about the incredible losses of the Ukrainian army in the war started by Russia was removed from Twitter.

It was these dubious data that later “disappeared” from her statement, also without any explanation.

The European Commission assessed the losses of the Armed Forces: the reaction of the General Staff

As the head of the Public Relations Department of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Bohdan Senyk stated, the General Staff cannot announce the losses of the Ukrainian army in a full-scale war against Russia.

It is necessary to do everything so that all those responsible for the losses of civilian and military citizens of Ukraine are brought to justice,” said Bohdan Senyk, “UP” reports.
