Independent Russian media outlets, including Mediazona, and the BBC Russian service have reported confirming the identities of 225,019 Russian soldiers who have been killed in the war against Ukraine. As of the most recent update at the end of May, an additional 3,813 Russian soldiers have been added to this compiled list. Journalists who compiled this data emphasize that their figures are derived exclusively from open-source materials.
These sources include local media reports, obituaries, family notifications, and official declarations issued by regional authorities. Consequently, they caution that the actual number of fatalities is likely substantially higher than the confirmed count. According to the data compiled by these sources, the identified deceased include over 82,400 volunteers, approximately 25,400 prisoners who were recruited for the war effort, and around 19,000 mobilized soldiers.
The ongoing collection and verification of such data highlight the scale of the casualties among Russian forces.
