Trump discloses alarming death toll of Russian and Ukrainian soldiers in the current year, following a confrontational statement towards Putin
In recent statements, former US President Donald Trump has expressed his concerns over the escalating conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Here's a summary of his remarks:
Trump has ordered two nuclear submarines to be deployed "in the appropriate regions" in response to a heated exchange of words with a former Russian president. The move comes as a show of force, aiming to deter further aggression from Moscow.
Trump has criticized Russian leader Vladimir Putin for continuing air strikes against civilian targets and defying agreements. He has expressed his disappointment with Putin's actions, stating that they lead to the deaths of civilians, including in nursing homes.
In a bid to pressure Russia, Trump has threatened Moscow with "very severe tariffs" if they fail to stop attacking Kyiv by early September. He has made it clear that he wants to see an end to the conflict and has stated that he is only trying to see if he can stop the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Trump has claimed that over 112,500 Russian soldiers have died since the beginning of the year in the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. However, it's important to note that these figures should be viewed with caution, as they differ significantly from other expert and official estimates.
Despite these claims, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues to wage on without any sign of coming to an end. The Kyiv Independent reports that Ukraine's General Staff estimates Russia has lost a total of 33,000 troops over the course of July, with the total figure for the entire conflict reportedly being over 1 million.
There have been temporary ceasefires between Russia and Ukraine, but strikes have resumed shortly after. Trump has not openly shared any casualty figures for either Russia or Ukraine.
Trump has claimed that the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine is Biden's War, not his. However, he has made it his mission to try to bring peace between Russia and Ukraine since returning to office in January.
It's clear that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is a complex and ongoing issue, with significant humanitarian consequences. As the situation continues to evolve, it's important for all parties involved to prioritize diplomacy and the pursuit of a peaceful resolution.
