US Pays No Heed to Putin's Claims about Ukraine's Losses in Counteroffensive – White House

The United States places no importance on statements from Russia about the losses of the Ukrainian Defence Forces during offensive operations.

"As it relates to the comments that President — Mr. Putin has made: As you know, we don’t put stock in Russia’s public assessment," Karin Jean-Pierre, White House spokesperson, said during a briefing, commenting on Russian President Vladimir Putin's claims about Ukraine's "catastrophic losses" during the counteroffensive.

In this regard, she recalled the words of US President Joe Biden, who said that only Ukraine was in a position to speak about its military actions.

Earlier, Putin had claimed during a meeting with the so-called "military bloggers" that Ukrainian troops were now allegedly "suffering catastrophic losses".

Meanwhile, the Pentagon stated that it did not trust Russian information regarding the destroyed equipment during Ukraine's counteroffensive.
