Ukraine War Deaths

Over 100,000 Russian Deaths in Ukraine: Verified Toll Sparks Debate

BBC Russian and Mediazona’s independent count reveals over 100,000 verified Russian military deaths in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion began. Significant portions of these casualties stemmed from volunteer soldiers (nearly 25%), mobilized troops (over 11%), and convicted prisoners (over 16%). Over 4,800 officers were among the dead, though their proportion of total casualties decreased over time as volunteer recruitment increased. The data relies on open-source information, contrasting with the Russian Ministry of Defence’s silence on losses.

Russia’s Ukraine War: Over 85,000 Soldier Deaths Confirmed

A joint investigation by BBC Russia and Mediazona has identified 84,761 Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine, a figure likely far lower than the actual number. This count, compiled from publicly available sources, shows over 20,000 confirmed deaths in the past year alone, potentially making 2024 the deadliest yet. These findings contrast with Western estimates exceeding 750,000 Russian military losses, including Ukrainian figures of 772,280 troops lost since the invasion’s start. Moscow’s refusal to release casualty figures is highlighted by a recent admission of 48,000 requests to identify missing soldiers.
