Nearly 50K Russian men have died in Ukraine war, nearly 9x larger than Russia's official figure: new study
Fox News
Russia's military losses in Ukraine are nearly nine times larger than its government and Russian President Vladimir Putin are officially reporting, a new independent study found.
The first independent review also puts the death total well under Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry’s official tally, which claims Russia has lost about 234,000 troops in the war, as of July 10. In May 2023, Ukraine’s Defense Ministry reported approximately 207,000 Russian troop deaths.
The Russian government has kept its personnel losses a tight secret during its invasion of the much smaller neighboring country, in a likely effort to justify the lengthy and expensive fight and to keep its soldiers’ morale high.
