Russia says it killed large numbers of Ukrainian soldiers with a destructive so-called “vacuum bomb” in a claim Ukraine swiftly called nonsense.
The deputy chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces told Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu during a meeting that up to 300 soldiers were killed “as a result of an accurate strike by an aerial munition,” Russia’s Defense Ministry said on Saturday.
The spokesperson of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, Andriy Yusov, told CNN the claims were “absolute nonsense and propaganda as well as Russian information about killing 1500 Ukrainian soldiers in Kursk and Belgorod regions yesterday”.

CNN cannot independently verify the incident.
Both sides produce propaganda so it will probably take months until we know whether this is true or not.
We know that they have no respect whatsoever for human life, whether it’s civilians or their own soldiers, so if they could they would have used it long ago in this way.
So yeah, I’m not going to consider this as trustworthy until there are sources confirming this that aren’t Russian and like Iran, China, India and South Africa.
All governments produce propaganda, even all people produce propaganda. But to treat both countries the same is ridiculous. The magnitude of propaganda Russia creates is way greater than most countries.
hollywood literally gives the pentagon script approval. not to mention the fact that almost all “journalism” today is just repeating what a government official has said.
i don’t know what russian propaganda is like, but i know american propaganda, and it’s like they have made PROJECT out of PAPERCLIPping their preferred messaging to every piece of media.
Don’t forget Brazil
