U Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed that Kyiv’s army is now larger than Moscow’s during a joint press conference with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Wednesday. He said that Ukraine’s military now has 880,000 soldiers, while Russia’s forces are comprised of 600,000 troops.
Almost certainly a typo. Both the subtitles under the video of Zelenskyy and every other mention of the number all say 880,000
There’s this syndicated Jan 6 story that says he said 980k back then.
it’s also okay to misspeak, misremember, etc… we shouldn’t demand absolute perfection from our leaders. this isn’t an exam
