"Revealing the True Toll: New Data Exposes Russian Deaths in Ukraine War"

Independent analysis using excess mortality data suggests that nearly 50,000 Russian men have died in the war in Ukraine, a significantly higher number than the approximately 6,000 deaths publicly acknowledged by Russia. Two independent Russian media outlets, Mediazona and Meduza, along with a data scientist from Germany's Tübingen University, used statistical analysis and inheritance records to estimate the excess deaths of men below the age of 50 between February 2022 and May 2023. The findings align with previous assessments by the US and UK intelligence agencies, highlighting the human cost of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
