Journalists provide data from a former officer of one of the special services of the Russian Federation and the current FSB employee. These figures are close to the US Department of Defense. In August, the Pentagon evaluated the loss of Russian troops in Ukraine killed and wounded within 70-80 thousand people-in half a year.
The UK Defense Minister Ben Wallace has recently stated that Russia has lost more than 80,000 servicemen that more than five times exceeded the number of those killed by Soviet soldiers in Afghanistan. Data from the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces indicate that Russia has lost 63 380 servicemen since February 24, 2022. In September, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation voiced the losses in Ukraine.
According to the head of the department Sergiy Shoigu, 5,937 servicemen were killed, although according to data only from open sources, the names of 6,476 dead were known. In addition, Shoigu said that of the total number of wounded more than 90% of personnel later returned to the system. We will remind that in two weeks from Russian shelling in Zaporozhye more than 70 locals were killed. The enemy troops strike rockets on residential quarters - hence the high number of casualties among civilians.
