The Russian Defense Ministry time recognized losses among the Russian military in Ukraine for the first on 27 February (the fourth day of the war – ed.), without specifying the number of people killed. On 2 March, an official representative of the ministry reported that 498 Russian servicemen were killed and another 1,597 were injured in the "special operation", since then the data has not been updated.
Data on Army losses in the Russian Federation are called "fakes". Russia also refuses to take the bodies of its soldiers. Roskomnadzor requires Telegram to delete its resources, including bots that provide information about Russian militaries killed or captured during the military attack on Ukraine. Also, the Russian media were forbidden to call the war with Ukraine "war", only "special operation".
24 February 2022, the Russian Federation attacked Ukraine and began moving troops in several directions. Putin called it a" special operation", the ultimate goal of which the Russian leadership first called helping terrorist organizations "LDNR", after what the Russian president said that the Russian Army" liberates Ukraine from the Nazis."
Later, representatives of Russia started to come up with other "scarecrows" - for example, the fact that Ukraine, with the support of the United States, allegedly develops "ethnically oriented biological weapons" and even "nuclear weapons".
Russia violates the rules of warfare by shelling civilian infrastructure and civilians in Ukraine. In 16 war days, the Russians killed 79 Ukrainian children and injured about 100. Several Ukrainian cities, especially Mariupol in the Donetsk region, are constantly being shelled by Russian military forces. The city is surrounded, the invaders do not let out residents trying to evacuate, the convoys with food and medicine are not allowed to enter the city. The Russians deliberately attacked the Maternity Hospital in Mariupol. Officially, they explained this by the narrative that the building was seized by Azov (Ukrainian military battalion). Moreover, the Russians called the footage from the shelling fake and bullied the victim of the shelling - a pregnant girl who got on the world media.
