A funeral for Russian military serviceman. Vladimir Gerdo / TASS
Roughly 47,000. That is how many Russian soldiers have died so far in the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, according to a joint study by journalists at Meduza and Mediazona and Tubingen University statistician Dmitry Kobak. Analyzing existing reports about published obituaries, mortality data from the Federal State Statistics Service, and extensive records from the National Probate Registry, we estimate that between 40,000 and 55,000 Russian men under the age of 50 died fighting in Ukraine by May 27, 2023. When factoring in the number of men wounded so seriously that they did not return to military service, Russia’s total casualty count rises to at least 125,000 soldiers, based on our calculations. (This figure does not include missing or captured soldiers or Ukrainian nationals fighting with Russian proxy forces based in Donetsk and Luhansk.)

Update #1: 47K Russian Troops Killed in Ukraine – Report -- Moscow Times
Update #2: Nearly 50K Russian men have died in Ukraine war, nearly 9x larger than Russia's official figure: new study -- FOX News
WNU Editor: This Russian number does not include soldiers who are classified as missing. There is also little if any accounting on what happened to those who were recruited from prison for Wagner. I have been told that those units suffered casualty rates in the 70% range.
Bottom line. My sources in Russia tell me that 75,000 Russian soldiers have been killed in this war.
On the other side my sources tell me that Ukraine started to suffer massive casualty numbers after September of last year. They estimate that the country has lost about 150,000 soldiers.
Like Russia, missing in action numbers are not counted by Kyiv as KIA.
When the war started one of my Ukrainian cousins started a Facebook page dedicated to missing Ukrainian soldiers. She stopped updating it early this year (she now lives in Canada), and I know she had a list (January 2023) of 35,000 missing Ukrainian soldiers.

Ukraine has lost a lot more than 150k. Probably closer to a quarter million dead. they started this conflict with nearly half a million troops, so where the hell are they all?
Dead, wounded or Mia
McGregor said they have gone thru two armies and are now on their 3rd.
This latest one is also being chewed up.
There is a lot bs going on to keep up the narrative in the West that the ukies are winning the war.
Russia was thought to be a super power. what are they now?
2nd most powerful army in Ukraine
Um…….does BRICS ring a bell? New currency on the way. With a solid foundation, pun intended. 40+countries joining. Military production in full swing. Backed by China. Your question would be more suitable regarding the United States. When was the last time you visited Oakland California, or any other democrat run shit-hole city in the US? Educate yourself before you blurt.
Make oi an even zillion , either way as the VC learnt , a wounded soldier is more detrimental to a units combat effectiveness than a dead one, and boy do the Russians have a lot of wounded also.
faz your line of thought makes no sense. Because if the Ukies are the most powerful military in Ukraine, why are they not having a beer on the beach in crimea?
what does the number of wounded Russians have to do with the number of dead ukies? Nothing.
Both sides have lost too many men. But you go ahead faz old man, just sit there and gloat over the dead and wounded.
Ever been to Walter Reed? No ? What a great place to visit especially in the mid 2000s. Guys burned like meat on the grill. Men with one eye and in wheel chairs.
Go ahead and gloat fazzy. you are one sick SOB.
Belitle Fazman but Ukraine not caving to what we were led to believe was a serious super power but turns out to be a third-rate military struggling to to hold onto what little ground they have gained.
I am not belittling old fazzy. I point out.
His flaws in logic.
His total lack of empathy towards his fellow man.
True hall marks of the new, woke, progressive class.
Wry true
sleep is king u fools
Horror...
