Ukraine counter-offensive: Russia’s propaganda machine engages to one-up Ukraine, falsely claims to have killed 600 Ukrainian troops in one go, following the actual massacring of up to 400 Russian troops on New Year’s Eve – TheLiberal.ie – Our News, Your Views

Ukraine counter-offensive: Russia’s propaganda machine engages to one-up Ukraine, falsely claims to have killed 600 Ukrainian troops in one go, following the actual massacring of up to 400 Russian troops on New Year’s Eve




An absolutely outstanding and well-placed HIMARS strike on a temporary barracks in the town of Makiivka snuffed out up to 400 Russian troops whose commanders thought it appropriate to house right beside tons of live ordnance.

Now, not to be outdone, and to silence critics, Russia is falsely claiming that a missile strike on a Ukrainian barracks killed 600-700 troops. Cunning Ukrainian officers would never concentrate that many troops in one easy-to-target place, unlike their inept Russian counterparts.

The attack has obviously not been verified by anyone or reported anywhere, of course, it’s simply a blatant propaganda claim with an exaggerated death toll that just happens to be higher than their own, to make it look like the Russian army is far better than Ukraine’s finely-tuned killing machine.
