Putting words in my mouth is just that - putting words in my mouth.
So go ahead and let us know what is wrong with the numbers cited by Wikipedia for deaths in the Donbass conflicts. Is the statement by the Foreign Minister of the LPR false?
You are a smart enough guy to know or be able to accurately estimate the number of casualties in that conflict. But for some reason you won't say what that number is. But, at the same time you say the number published by Wikipedia is wrong.
So you must believe you know the true number. So why not share it. Is it some Russian classified information you have?
