An investigation has reportedly uncovered that nearly 50,000 Russian men have died in the Ukraine war. Moscow’s publicly acknowledged figures only show that 6,000 soldiers have died.
One of Russia’s most closely guarded secrets is the true cost of human life as a result of the war in Ukraine – but investigators have exposed the reality Moscow’s publicly acknowledged figures show more than 6,000 soldiers have died.
It’s the first independent statistical analysis that has been undertaken to shed light on one of Vladimir Putin’s most closely-guarded secrets – the true human cost of the invasion of Ukraine. Drawing on inheritance records and official mortality data, they estimated how many more men under the age of 50 died between February 2022 and May 2023 than normal.
‘The estimate we did with Meduza allows us to see the “hidden” deaths, deaths the Russian government is so obsessively and unsuccessfully trying to hide.’ According to their analysis, 25,000 more inheritance cases were opened in 2022 for males aged 15 to 49 than expected.That surge is roughly in line with a May assessment by the White House that more than 20,000 Russians had been killed in Ukraine since December, though this is lower than US and UK intelligence assessments of overall Russian deaths.
‘Their figures might be accurate, or they might not be,’ Mr Treshchanin, the Mediazona editor, said in an email.
