BBC: Russian soldiers 'dying in large numbers' in Ukraine - Nato



Nato's deputy chief says Russian leaders are less and less able to conceal the deaths of "large numbers" of Russian soldiers in eastern Ukraine.


Alexander Vershbow said Russia's involvement was becoming more unpopular with the Russian public as a result.


Russian officials dismissed on Thursday a US claim that Moscow had sent "thousands and thousands" of troops to fight alongside separatists.


A foreign ministry spokesman said the figures were "plucked out of the air".
