Russian media is forbidden to write about the war in Ukraine. The only data they can publish are those officially provided by the Kremlin. In one of the newspapers there was probably a slip-up, because completely different data appeared.
‼️ An article about losses from Russian side has appeared on the website of Komsomolskaya Pravda. The article refers to 9861 dead and 16153 injured. The publication refers to #Russian Ministry of Defense.
A few minutes later, article was deleted but internet remember everything. pic.twitter.com/d0w77OYdOf

The Russian media cannot even use the term war. According to the Kremlin, this is a “special military operation” and that is what the Russian media calls it.
Komsomolskaya Pravda has published an article about the losses sustained by the Russian army in Ukraine. According to the Nexta portal, it was written about 9,861 killed and 16,153 wounded. Although these data are different from those provided by the Ukrainians, they are probably closer to the truth than those provided by the Kremlin. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense says about 15,000 killed.
The article was quickly removed, but as you know, nothing is lost on the internet.
