President Vladimir Putin can’t seem to stop lying to his own people as reports of the so-called ‘Ghost Buses’ started coming from the Ukraine. In a video that went viral, there are several buses leaving the country with Russian insignias on them and covered windows. Those buses contained thousands of dead soldiers who are hidden from the media and from the people of Russia.
There are many stories of mothers from that country who are convinced their children have perished in this invasion thinking they were just going to Ukraine for a military exercise. While the Russian state media is reporting only a low number of casualties to their own people, the rest of the world is delivering far more devastating data.

Those buses depict the reality of what’s going on in a country that is currently controlled by an authoritatian regime that is sending their young soldiers to slaughter. The numbers reported by NATO officials are far scarier than the ones that Russia is offering to their own citizens. Putin recently organized a rally that is very reminiscent to the same rallies Donald Trump does in the United States where he kept lying to his own people. Although many of those constituents are also on board with the massacre he is conducting in Ukraine. Truth of the matter is that the Russian president is taking advantage of the overwhelming control he has over every aspect of life inside the country. All those killed soldiers will be forgotten due to the lies of an entire government.

How many casualties does Russia truly have?
According to numbers from NATO officials, Russia has over 40,000 Russian soldiers who have either died, been wounded, taken as prisoners of war or simply gone missing in action. Confirmed deaths are between 7,000 and 15,000 so far. If this is true, these numbers are twice as high as the average monthly casualties the Allied forces against the nazis reported during World War II. Even though the Russian military is still vast and great in numbers, they are still taking a massive hit from a relatively small adversary.
BREAKING: @NATO officials tell the @WSJ that 40,000 Russian soldiers have been KIA, wounded, taken POW, or are MIA.
If true, these figures would be 2x higher than the average monthly causalities by the Allies in WW2. https://t.co/dNdZLbIZ2n pic.twitter.com/AYvwTfN3St
