In the propaganda war on Russian losses in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the Ukrainian military has launched a new app.
There, users can read the Ukrainian military’s latest figures on Russia’s loss of troops and equipment.
The app is called RKIN, an abbreviation for Ukrainian soldiers’ response to the call to surrender to the now sunk battleship “Moscow”:
“Russian warship, go to hell”
– Putin trolls brutally
Although the app will provide users with factual information about the course of the war, it also plays a role in the propaganda war between the two countries.
Ukraine “brutally trolls Putin”, writes Daily Beast in a case about the app, which was developed by the technology company Alty in collaboration with the Ukrainian military forces.
The RKIN app is available for iPhone users – but is in Ukrainian.

“We are inspired by the daily work of the General Staff’s specialists in the armed forces, who have diligently reported information on damage to enemy personnel and Russia’s technology,” said Alty’s commander Leonid Goriev in a press release from Ukraine’s military forces. Expressen walks.
– 25000 dead Russian soldiers
The app is in Ukrainian, but is also available outside Ukraine. On Sunday, it operates with numbers of a total of 25,100 fallen Russian soldiers, 1,122 tanks and 199 aircraft.
These are official figures, and are in good agreement with the figures provided by the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Twitter.
According to NTB, Russia has not provided figures on the number of soldiers killed in Ukraine, and independent sources are difficult to find.
NTB wrote in mid-April that Russia then claimed that just over 23,000 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed, including “foreign mercenaries”, while the President of Ukraine claimed that the number was between 2,500 and 3,000.
At the end of March, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that more than 1,350 Russian soldiers had been killed.
Britain’s ambassador to Russia from 1995 to 2000, Andrew Wood, recently estimated Russian losses more than the 15000 they lost in the Afghanistan war.
