An independent Russian media has reported that more than 50,000 Russian soldiers have been killed since Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine, and it is believed that tens of thousands more have been killed in the war in the past two years.

The independent Russian media Mediazuna, which monitors the casualties of Russian forces through independent sources in cooperation with the BBC, said that since the beginning of the Russian military invasion in February 2022, how many have died in the war in Ukraine. 50,471 Russian military personnel were killed.

Madiazuna wrote in this report: “We know the names of more than 3,300 military officers and other security forces.” 390 of them had the position of lieutenant colonel or above.

This independent Russian media also said that Russia has lost many tanks, armored vehicles and artillery units in recent weeks, but the exact number of casualties of Russian forces has not been recorded in recent weeks.

According to Medazona, Russia is losing approximately 1,200 soldiers every week, with most casualties occurring in Russia’s Krasnodar and Bashkiria regions.

However, the Ukrainian forces estimated that Russia caused 451,730 casualties during its military invasion of this country, including those killed and wounded. However, the United States and British intelligence have said that during this period, up to 300,000 casualties have been inflicted on Russia.

Kiev claims that more than 180,000 Russian soldiers have been killed in the country since the beginning of the Russian military invasion of Ukraine.

Russia rarely publishes figures on the casualties of its forces in the war in Ukraine. According to the latest figures announced by Russia seven months ago, the number of casualties of the Russian forces in the war in Ukraine was at least 6,000.

Ukraine has said that 31,000 Ukrainian soldiers were killed during the Russian military invasion.
