Absurd statements: the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation lies about the success of its army, inflating Ukraine's losses - ISW

On Wednesday, May 31, the Institute of War Study (ISW) reports. According to analysts, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation also continues to declare that the loss of the Russian army in the so -called "special military operation" is minimal, while trying to artificially increase Ukrainian losses in the war.

On the other day, on May 30, the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Sergei Shoigu made a statement that Russian troops were able to destroy the absurd high amount of Western weapons in Ukraine in the last month, which was stressed in Ukraine by Ukraine, especially he emphasized information about the destruction of long-range missiles and air defense systems. The successes in Shoigu's military exercises confirmed when he awarded Russian military formations.

The Russian Defense Minister also boasted future flight military exercises. Analysts cited the example of the words of one of the Russian troops related to the Wagner group, which criticized Shoig's statements, calling them so unrealistic that even readers understand that it is a fake.

At the same time, on the eve of Shoiga's statements before the success of the Russian army, on May 29, the Oryx monitoring group confirmed that Russia had lost more than 2000 tanks and 2366 infantry fighting vehicles (including more than 850 BMP) from the beginning of a full -scale invasion.

We will remind, on May 5, the chairman of PEC "Wagner" Yevhen Prigogin recorded a video showing the corpses of his mercenaries, and also wrapped the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Sergei Shoig and the head of the General Staff Vasyl Gerasimov.
