The National Guard is saying that reports by Russian state media outlet Pravda(Which translates as “Truth” in Russia) that two members of the Tennessee National Guard were killed in Ukraine are “patently false.”
Pravda published a story earlier today claiming three “U.S. mercenaries” were killed when Russian forces attacked the city of Marinka in the Donetsk region.
