"Mediazona Reveals Shocking Death Toll: Over 33,900 Russian Soldiers Killed in Ukraine"

Mediazona, in collaboration with BBC Russia, has confirmed the identities of over 33,900 Russian soldiers who have been killed since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The number of casualties is likely higher, as the information is based on open sources and does not include all Russian military deaths. The investigation also estimated that by the end of May, the war in Ukraine resulted in the deaths of 47,000 Russians under the age of 50. The casualties include both high-ranking officers and newly recruited soldiers, with a majority coming from specific regions in Russia.
