You can lie all you want, but the numbers don't lie.

Ok, but, the numbers must be corroborated, so, where's the proof?

Numbers don't lie, unless they're made up or not proven.

And, the numbers must not come from a biased source.

The source is the Ukrainian General Staff (military) as cited by CNN.

If anything, those figures are biased to the low side.

The reality is much worse. As those dead and disabled soldiers were almost certainly their best and most well trained. You don’t throw the JV out there first when you’re being invaded.
