That's right, this headline comes from Mark Rutte, but he didn't know any datails and that was unfortunately passed on. However, the correct information was provided by the Lithuanian side (“no evidence or information confirming the death of the troops”)
So you think even though the vehicle sunk under 15 feet of mud and water 4 soldiers managed to get out and instead of going back to base they’re hiding? I don’t get denying what happened.
No. As I wrote, the chances of finding them alive are slim. But the correct reporting would still be “missing” and not “killed” because they haven't been found yet. It's as simple as that.

The fact that there is little hope is another matter.
