Secretary of State Marco Rubio Remarks to the Press

Published | Video Starts at 02:20

I think it's the only conflict, I've been told it's the only conflict that anyone in the military can recall where the killed in action rate is higher than the casualty rate. That's how bloody it is. The Russians, I believe, are losing upwards of five to six thousand soldiers a week. That's a staggering number. Does Lavrov sort of express that? Well, look, guys, I mean, when I have these talks, these things don't work well unless I come out here and characterize what the other side is saying. (02:20–02:26)

CLAIM

Asserts that Russia is losing 5,000 to 6,000 soldiers weekly in the conflict.
