Media Verification Pinpoints 177,433 Russian Deaths in Ukraine

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.

Open-source tally confirms 168,142 Russian casualties in Ukraine

A joint open-source investigation by Mediazona and the BBC Russian service confirms 168,142 Russian military fatalities in Ukraine, adding 4,536 names since mid‑January; researchers caution the true toll is likely higher and note the breakdown includes about 54,600 volunteers, 20,200 recruited prisoners, 17,400 mobilized soldiers, and 6,353 officers. Official figures from Moscow are rare, while Western and Ukrainian estimates suggest casualties far exceed 1 million when accounting for killed, wounded, and missing; the identification list draws from obituaries, relatives’ posts, regional media, and local authorities.

"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.
