|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-30 18:00 UTC | Open | Unresolvable | Open 12 months after it was said (2023-06-13) with nothing in the record to settle it. The record holds no independent count of Ukrainian tank losses or of either side's casualties in the first days of the June 2023 counteroffensive; Putin's figures stand only as his claim. |
