The Economist: Russia's losses in the war against Ukraine may reach 2.1 million people
Published
The British magazine The Economist has published a study estimating Russia's losses in the war against Ukraine. According to the publication, the total number of killed and wounded may reach 2.1 million people.
The study also states that the number of dead may amount to as many as 770,000 people. These figures are estimates, not official data. The publication, which is in the editorial office's possession, does not specify the exact sources and calculations on which these conclusions are based.
Russia does not usually publish official data on its war losses. Therefore, independent estimates, including counts by media outlets and researchers, often differ from one another and are difficult to verify. Experts note that such data should be compared with other sources in order to understand its accuracy.
The Economist's study is one of the most widely discussed independent estimates in recent times. Readers should bear in mind that this is a forecast based on analysis and that the final picture of the losses remains unknown for now.
