Russian state-run news agency Interfax appeared to cover up Sergei Shoigu's error.
Russia's defense minister slipped up on Monday when calculating the number of Ukrainian tanks destroyed by Russian forces in the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Ukraine's counteroffensive to reclaim its territory is now in its fourth month, with particularly heavy clashes taking place along the front lines in the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions. Russian state-run news agency Interfax appeared to edit Shoigu's quote to exclude mention of the minister saying six more tanks had been destroyed in the Bakhmut direction. Interfax quotes him as saying that in the Bakhmut direction,"our guys skilfully destroyed more vehicles."has contacted Russia's Defense Ministry via email for comment.
