Russia's War Against Ukraine
OP-ED
Paul Roderick Gregory: If Russian soldiers aren’t dying in Ukraine, why did Putin make casualty stats a state secret?
Russian soldiers stand guard near the destroyed training facility for Russian paratroopers in the village of Svetly, near Omsk, on July 13, 2015.
If you want to enrage Vladimir Putin, publish an article on Russian casualties in Ukraine. Putin unequivocally declared, on his Direct Line broadcast to the Russian people on April 16, that "the question of whether Russian troops are present in Ukraine…I can tell you outright and unequivocally that there are no Russian troops in Ukraine."
