Quote from Peskov: "They [the numbers – ed.] are taken from absolutely nowhere. Washington is not in a position to give any correct figures, they do not have such data at their disposal, and this is how it should be treated. We should focus only on the numbers shared by the Russian Ministry of Defence in a timely manner."
