Verbatim: "Today, Russia has no contact with about 8,000 of its soldiers. This does not mean that they all died. About 6,000 of them died, according to our estimates.

Others are wandering around because they fled this war. The vast majority of them had no idea what they would encounter here".

Details: According to Danilov, the vast majority of Russian troops sent to Ukraine "are not aggressive".

"They have no idea what they have been dragged into. They were promised one thing; they faced a completely different one. Their military machinery is stuck because they ran out of fuel. Another thing is that they are not familiar with our territory. Their mobile phones have been confiscated. The vast majority don't know where they are. And the vast majority have a great desire to return home, to end all this," he said.

"I can't say that these are sheep. These are military tourists who need to be sent home urgently before our patriots, our Territorial Defence, have exterminated them to become cargo-200 [Soviet code word for military casualty - UP] in self-defence," Danilov added.
