I don't have medical training, but I have a feeling that is a candidate for at least partial amputation.
No go back to trenches anymore , at least.

That's barely trench foot. I've had worst feet after trail running.
I doubt it is a translation issue, Offiziere is basically like Officers, so either she meant officers or her brain had a schizo relapse that moment.
If you have two full days of military training outside in the woods without chance to change socks or boots, your feet will look kinda like this after walking 60-80 km in total.
Therefore it is important to always rest when possible and let air to your feet/ change socks. But sometimes in war situation you dont have the luxury to do that.
Funny thing is, as long as you dont put off the boots in such situation it only hurts a little, if you put them off the foot starts to swell and you basically have to rest before continuing.

An explanation I read in another tweet is that an "officer" in Ukraine is anyone who graduated out of any of the military academies of the country regardless of the rank they get, which could explain the high number and the use of the word.
And water is wet
But normally a military academy is always left with a rank of lieutenant second class or smth, there are special NCO schools who dont call themselves Academies. Maybe they just had a lot of butter bars to spend.
Probably the latter in that case. Or she's another dumb EU politician who doesn't know the difference between a soldier and officer.
It would be random to sprout off numbers of officers killed in a press conference and not actual soldiers.
100%. Once those boots come off, they aren't going to fit anymore.
She was the German Defense Minister for 6 years. One would expect her to have a clue.
No she does not. Worst Defense Minister ever. She comes from a long esteemed family of professional politicians.

Steel also has a nasty habit of fragmenting rounds into spall that can be just as deadly since the shape of plates often channel that spall into areas you absolutely do not want a of perforations, like neck and face.
Most modern steel plates come with spall treatment, but the quality that such treatment can wary massively and even the best spall treatment is ablative and will rapidly degrade from use.
