The people who can make better arguments than you, evidently. Admittedly it's not a high bar given all you do in the end is screech "Ukrainian propaganda" like a broken record.

The Kremlin has an estimate. Why would I think the Russian military is competent enough to know an exact number? They don't need exact numbers. They need to know how many soldiers to mobilize for the next month. But having a grand total of Russian casualties is not something I imagine he cares about.

Consider why this is a question. This has been investigated using public information and data from cemeteries and confirmed information The number of KIA on both sides is 30 times greater in the last three years than compared to the 11 years prior to the invasion. That shows that a war was happening before and after the annexation of Crimea on a limited level, scope and scale.

Then Putin invaded. Big difference. This question is important because people need to know who started this war. People also should know that Putin holds no value for Russian lives.

I posted the article that describes how they scour new cemeteries, they access public documents, they collect all the counts of skirmishes, we can get an estimate.

The BBC Russian Service, in collaboration with independent media outlet Mediazona and a team of volunteers, has processed open source data from Russian cemeteries, military memorials and obituaries.

So far, we have identified the names of 106,745 Russian soldiers killed during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

The true number is clearly much higher. Military experts estimate our number may cover between 45% and 65% of deaths, which would mean 164,223 to 237,211 people.

How Russia suffered record losses in Ukraine in 2024

Last year was the deadliest for Russian forces since the start of the full-scale war with at least 45,287 killed.
