How many Russians have died in the Ukraine war? - BBC News

When Russian invaded Ukraine, the BBC and its partners began painstakingly verifying and counting as many deaths as possible.
We identified more than 25,000 named individuals - people we know to have died - setting a bare minimum for Russia's total losses.
The count provides hard evidence of the war's impact on Russian forces. But it has also given answers to grieving families. Some relatives did not even know what had happened to their loved ones until the BBC traced them.

[@jmhorange]

@@TimesFM4532 Afghanistan wasn't considered a vital war from the Soviet Union's perspective of security. Ukraine is, so it doesn't seem like they would just decide to cut their losses, leave Ukraine and let it integrate into NATO. Russia's economy is projected to grow more than the UK's by IMF projections and Russia doesn't same issues of the Soviet Union with multiple nations tied to an ideology that could tear it apart if support for that multi ethnic ideological project dropped. Support for Iraq and Afghanistan became very unpopular in the US. We weren't going to overthrow our government and suffer just because we didn't like the wars. The US government wrapped the wars up on their timeline. Citizens have a vested interest in their country not collapsing. Full military support and crushing sanctions like the ones the US put on Japan in world war 2 has its own risks (Japan attacked Pearl |Harbor because American sanctions would have destroyed their country in a year and they couldn't convince us to stop.) But this idea that we can half help Ukraine and hope Russia just gives up is pure fantasy. It's either outright swift defeat of Russia, or negotiate with them. This third way we are doing is very dangerous.

There is no army in Ukraine, all whom you call "the army" are mercenaries who arrived and joined the detachments of the internal combat corps of national groups, for example, "Azov", "Tornado" and others. This is not an army, these are groups united on the army idea, and funded by the state. All these groups consist of mercenaries, and those whom the state grabs from the streets and forcibly takes them into the "army". Ukraine has been a terrorist country for 9 years now, ruled by a tyrant and dictator for the money of the United States, just because he decided to fight against Russia. Ukraine has long ceased to exist, the only thing on which it still rests is on the financial support of all countries that have decided to "attack Russia" and in the hope of doing it with the hands of Ukraine .. Stop funding it and Ukraine will fall apart. The entire "Army" of Ukraine is war criminals who in 9 years destroyed their cities, destroyed their people, shot the population, burned settlements, provoked conflicts, fabricated various situations in the hope of denigrating Russia, for example Bucha .. which has already been proven that it was a "theater" ..and many, many..many..other provocations to denigrate Russia. The "Army" of Ukraine itself consists of former terrorists who participated in ISIS and the Taliban. Don't support Ukraine. By supporting Ukraine, you support terrorism.

​@@nifralo2752 There was a very interesting intercept of a phone call where a relative told a soldier about his dead comrade: the dead one’s family had still never been notified of his death, even though his comrades knew his remains had been collected. So the sister actually drove a couple of thousand miles and bribed her way into a morgue - and found it was literally a large warehouse, with bodybags and uncovered frozen corpses piled in high mounds. She literally searched among them until she found her brother. The practice at the time was - if any remains were recovered - to take the zinc coffins back to their home towns one truck at a time, stretched over the weeks and months so that the local population don’t realise their town has lost men by the hundred.

[@fenhen]

@@MrManny075Use some common sense. Ukraine is a small country than Russia, so 1 Ukrainian = 128 Russians. Therefore 128,000 Russian deaths = 1,000 Ukrainian deaths.

[@johnvine5731]

The answer is 'NOT ENOUGH".

[@steveagola9317]

I don't know whether to believe bbc on the accuracies of this matter same as i wouldn't trust Russian media on Ukrainian fatalities

[@dandelves]

It's way more than 25,000

[@Khattab511]

No it’s not, it’s about 20k at least and 30k at most

[@philipmilner9638]

I believe that it was the wives and mothers of the Russia's dead soldiers in Afganistan, that lead to the withdrawal of the Russian army from that country

[@myhoose90]

Probably nowhere close to what you're about to tell us

[@BuckNaked2k]

25,000? Ukraine is claiming 215,000 Russian KIA.

[@brevedad1]

and the number of ukrainian deaths is more than 500000

[@ussassu]

@@brevedad1 Ukrainians numbers are actually well sources, where is your 500000 numbers sourced from, Mozcovian state TV clowns? 😂 The real Mozcovian deaths are over 200k, twice as many injured. The real Ukranian death numbers are something like 60k.

[@citrasetyanto]

How many Russian, because Ukrainan death doen't matter. I follow many news channel, this war teach that the big media name is also not free from their group interest.

[@keyboarddancers7751]

Given the utterly disastrous demographic profile of Russia and especially of Ukraine many years before this war started, one wonders what future lies in store for these two countries.

[@mightyauga8840]

I am very proud of the people Ukraine and all heroes.❤🌏

[@cyanhacker]

Very proud that so many people die? It is all extremely sad, and you will understand it when somebody you know will die...

[@tonyhardy8097]

It's funny how they say no Ukrainian soldier has died in the war since it started

[@ayushkumar-bg1xf]

Why is no western media talking about Ukrainian losses, why crying over Russian lossss?

There's no future for Russia, all smart people left this country and all its youth is dying for Putin's imperialistic needs

Russia has lost 401,350 troops in Ukraine since the beginning of its full-scale invasion on Feb. 24, 2022, the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces reported on Feb. 17. This number includes the 1,050 casualties Russian forces suffered over the past day. According to the report, Russia has also lost 6,476 tanks, 12,145 armored fighting vehicles, 12,734 vehicles and fuel tanks, 9,669 artillery systems, 984 multiple launch rocket systems, 671 air defense systems, 332 airplanes, 325 helicopters, 7,413 drones, and 25 boats.

[@user-gp7vq8km1x]

If Russia had lost so much, the front would have collapsed long ago. And yes, the side that has absolute superiority in the quality of training (since in Ukraine the training of soldiers takes up to 3 weeks), the amount of equipment, aviation, artillery and ammunition cannot suffer greater losses than the enemy. Do not spread Ukrainian propaganda.

[@Whistleblower153]

That insane. 40000 + casualties would have stopped the war in another country I wonder is this numbers actually accurate? If it is then it’s unbelievable

[@alejandrosotomartin9720]

Aparently not enough.

[@qasimchaudhry3521]

Russia has obviously suffered heavy losses in Ukraine. I recall watching this History Legends video back in December which estimated 25k kia. Given the brutal scale of fighting, one can only imagine that it is markedly higher now. However, I find the media's complete amnesia when it comes to Ukraine's combat fatalities to be extremely frustrating. Supporting Ukraine does not mean stooping down to the level of total propaganda outlets such as RT. Investigative journalism should not limit itself to your foe, it should also cover yiur friend. That is the media's job.

[@filhofreire7100]

A situação é cada dia mais difícil. Em dez dias de contra ofensiva, a Ucrânia já perdeu mais de 8mil soldados contra 71 russo. No total, os números oficiais sem especulação desde o início do conflito, a Ucrânia ja perdeu priximo à 230mil soldados e a Rússia e milicianos próximo dos 21mil. Na verdade, a guerra só estar começando.

[@shorts_br131]

Kkkkk

[@scottie2636]

Russia tells its people that ridiculously low number. They have lost a hell of a lot more than that. It's not allowed by the Kremlin to tell the public the truth. But their citizens know the truth.

[@scottie2636]

Try putting those numbers in the opposite direction.

[@iljaliasenko143]

Basically, everything you said about russian army applies to ukrainian army.

[@williambanico1842]

BBC are talking the casualties of Russia in Ukraine war but nobody talk about the casualties of Ukraine by how much compare to Russia .

[@florentoke9285]

This look like propaganda. You never interested in telling us the fatalities of both Ukraine and Russia but always concentrating on Russia. Be objective for once.

[@michaelhughes6634]

The pentagon believes it to be around 48000 Russians have died and 24000 Ukrainian have died after a leak from one of the staff.

[@mattbrown-mb]

Not interested in Putin's lies, not sure why the BBC gives him airtime.

[@agem1531]

Actually, more than 500000 soldiers and people have been killed in this Russia-Ukraine war. If the whole population of these 2 countries had revolted against their respective presidents to end the war once and for all, so much bloodshed and losses would have never occurred. It will take decades to cover the damages caused to both countries due to this war. People never understand the fact that they are the ones who give power to their politicians and they can snatch it whenever necessary.
