The article was then changed and no longer referred to the number of soldiers killed. Komsomolskaya Pravda speaks about cyber sabotage. A month ago, a hacker attack also hit the Tass agency

Reliable figures according to western experts

Last week, the New York Times reported 7,000 soldiers killed and at least 14,000 wounded, based on Pentagon estimates: a calculation considered reliable by many Western experts and has certainly increased in the last few days of fighting; but the Kremlin doesn’t want to admit that.

It’s not the first hacker attack A month ago, several Russian media websites, including the TASS agency, were hacked and featured an antiwar message. “Dear citizens. We urge you to stop this madness and send your sons and husbands to certain deaths. Putin makes us lie and puts us in danger,” reads a Russian message on the Forbes Russia, Fontanka, Takie Dela websites.

It was Tass herself who reported that she had suffered a cyber attack. “The attackers have published information that does not correspond to reality. Tass and his associates have no connection to these allegations. Among the hackers was Anonymous, who wrote in a message: “We have been isolated from the whole world, oil and gas are no longer exchanged. In a few years we will live like in North Korea. This message will be deleted and some of us will be fired or even imprisoned. . But we can’t take it anymore.”
