Leaked data: Up to 450,000 Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine

Up to 450,000 Russian soldiers have been killed in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion began, according to leaked data reportedly from Russia's statistics agency Rosstat, obtained by hackers. The figures, compiled by pro-Ukrainian group Silent Crow, include military deaths but exclude wounded, missing, or foreign fighters. Over 356,000 deaths were attributed to combat, with roughly 90,000 from other war-related causes or unknown reasons. The US think tank ISW, which could not verify the numbers, says they align with recent investigations by independent Russian outlets Mediazona and Meduza, though likely underestimating true losses. Ukrainian military reports show Russian casualties rising, with over 54,000 killed or wounded in October.
