He must have only meant the large ship Moskva, not the ones in the total list.
“One document also estimated that between 35,000 and 43,000 Russian forces have been killed in action during the conflict.”

You are daydreaming. The discounts are long gone. Japan on the contrary, pays Russia premium.
What Sevastopol doink? LOL!
And, the vast majority of those loses come from the militias of the LPR, DPR, Chechens and Wagner group rather than regular Russian military.
Ukraine has likely seen 200,000 killed and 400,000 killed and wounded.
Ukraine is out of soldiers, ammo and missiles for their air defense. You're out of touch and Ukraine is out of time.
That’s a massive fire. Now you see why Biden admin doesn’t want to give ATACMS. Dems still give top cover for Putin failed strategy.
Between you and me that picture looks like somebody is not following environmental regulations.

No, the leaked documents said up to 17,500 for Ukraine and 43,000 for Russia, the poorly altered version that appeared much later simply reversed the figures.
“The leaked document says that as of February, Ukraine had suffered 124,500 to 131,000 casualties, with up to 17,500 killed in action.”
“Russians have suffered 189,500 to 223,000 casualties, including up to 43,000 killed in action. American officials have previously estimated Russian losses at about 200,000 soldiers.”
There is the original leaked document that gives the figures favoring Ukraine and then there was an obviously altered version that reversed the numbers to make Russia look good.
“A counterfeit version of the leaked casualty report that greatly exaggerates Ukrainian casualties and downplays Russian casualties has been circulated online by a pro-Kremlin social media personality who styles herself “Donbass Devushka.” “Donbass Devushka” is actually 37-year-old former U.S. Navy legal clerk Sarah Bils, who presently resides in Oak Harbor, Washington, near Naval Air Station Whidbey Island where she once served. A news exclusive and interview with Bils conducted by the Wall Street Journal includes this assessment of her social media posts pertaining to Russian and Ukrainian casualty numbers: “Some of the slides reposted on the Telegram account overseen by Ms. Bils had been altered from the otherwise identical photographs allegedly posted by Airman Teixeira on Discord—changed to inflate Ukrainian losses and play down Russian casualties. A subsequent post on the Donbass Devushka Telegram channel, on April 12, denied that the image had been doctored by the administrators.”
All according to plan! Russia humiliated again by the “farmers and miners” of Ukraine.
Oddly, Tucker knowingly used the forged version of those documents and never corrected the record AFAIK. I guess the truth doesn’t matter to him.
Amazing photo. Too bad the Ukrainians didn’t wait until “Victory Day”.
