Original Note:
This video contains a number of factual inaccuracies. Robert Kennedy Jnr is widely criticised for repeating Russian disinformation on the Ukraine War. For example, he claims 500,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died in the war, whereas the official US estimate is 57,500. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/10/us/politics/russia-casualties-ukraine-war.html https://www.newsweek.com/robert-f-kennedy-jr-ukraine-russia-war-fox-news-fact-check-1815994 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/05/08/rfk-jrs-history-lesson-russias-invasion-ukraine-flunks-fact-test/ https://www.voanews.com/a/fact-check-robert-kennedy-jr-repeats-russia-s-false-justification-for-ukraine-war-/7138506.html https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-rfk-jr-right-that-us-has-sent-113-billion-ukraine-1810233
