It looks like Ukrainian officials are walking back earlier claims that the Ukrainian soldiers on Snake Island died at the hands of Russian forces:
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had announced that “all border guards died heroically but did not give up,” adding that he would posthumously award all the servicemen the Hero of Ukraine distinction.
But the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine has since posted a statement on Facebook that "we [have a] strong belief that all Ukrainian defenders of Zmiinyi (Snake) Island may be alive.
“After receiving information about their possible location, the [border guard service], together with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, are conducting work on identifying our soldiers,” the statement continued.
do people often survive a full bombardment form a warship ?
not really a jump in logic if the last time you heard from people they were being bombarded from a warship, that they might be dead.
Is there any evidence that bombardment actually occurred? A likely explanation is that the story is just propaganda.
Fog of war means there are often confusing reports in combat situations. In addition, governments are more than happy to create fictional accounts for propaganda purposes, especially during wartime.
My guess is that the vast majority of the news reports from Ukraine are false, either intentionally or unintentionally.
well according the Russian Media only one Russian solider has died.
I’m pretty sure that is false.
why should I trust anything Russia media says, they don’t even call this an invasion its a “peacekeeping” mission to save Ukraine from their Nazi government.
we gotta trust the Russian Media who in the last four days.
Threaten to nuke North American and Europe.
Threaten to invade Finland.
Threaten to bomb Poland.
Threaten to invade Sweden.
Threaten to start world war three.
A reasonable starting point is that state media are going to accurately report their own government’s official announcements. I expect that CBC will accurately report official pronouncements from Ottawa, and Tass will accurately report official pronouncements from Moscow.
