WorldMedia investigation identifies over 248,000 Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine

Mediazona and BBC Russian have verified the identities of 248,844 Russian military personnel killed in Ukraine, adding 6,097 names since late August. The outlets say the true figure is likely significantly higher because their count relies on public records, including obituaries, relatives’ posts, regional reports and local officials’ statements.
