TL;DR Summary
Mediazona, in collaboration with the BBC Russian service, identifies 177,433 Russian military fatalities in Ukraine as of February 13, with 9,291 added since early February. The tally breaks down into 57,200 volunteers, 21,400 recruited prisoners, 17,000 mobilized soldiers, and 6,414 officers. Moscow does not publish official casualty figures, while Zelensky cited Ukrainian deaths and Ukraine’s General Staff estimates Russia has lost about 1,251,000 troops since February 2022; experts warn the real toll is higher due to reliance on publicly available records such as obituaries and local reporting.
