Forbes story is a fake - says RT.
An update to Post 1833 from RT of all places.
A reminder first: 2k Russian dead and 3.2k invalids Whoops:
Quote:
According to Forbes, Russian news site Business Life (Delovaya Zhizn) revealed what seem to be official figures detailing the number of Russian troops killed and injured in "Eastern Ukraine." The site, which generally focuses on coverage of markets, finance and leisure, posted a piece entitled “Increases in Pay for Military in 2015,” that at first glance would be uncontroversial....
Paul Roderick Gregory continues in his translation, "as of 1 February 2015, monetary compensation had been paid to more than 2,000 families of fallen soldiers and to 3,200 military personnel suffering heavy wounds and recognized as invalids.”
RT maintains the story is a fabrication and points the "finger" at Kiev.
