RT: ‘Official figures not credible’: German intel say Ukraine death toll 10 times higher

The German intelligence service estimates the real losses in the Ukrainian civil war at 50,000 dead (civilians and servicemen), which is nearly 10 times higher than reported by the Kiev authorities, German media report.

Update: German Intelligence Estimates Death Toll in Ukraine Ten Times Higher

WNU Editor: Ukrainian President Poroshenko has said that 1,200 combatants and 5,400 civilians have been killed during the conflict. UN numbers are slightly higher. I have two friends who are in the Ukrainian parliament .... they are telling me that the number is 20,000+. And now ... German intelligence is saying 50,000. I do not know what is the real number, but I do know that all hospitals in Ukraine are now filled with wounded soldiers and civilians, and that the public number of 5,300 being killed is on the low side.
