Putin’s claim – campaign going according to plan
Vladimir Putin claims that the Russian military’s special military operation in Ukraine is going according to plan. However, such a large number of deaths of the top leadership of the Russian army has definitely raised questions about Putin’s claim. Ukraine claims that more than 20,000 Russian soldiers have been killed since the start of the war on 24 February, although Russia has not commented on these figures.
