The Economist: Russia's losses in the war against Ukraine may reach record levels
Published
The Economist has published new estimates of Russia's losses during the full-scale war against Ukraine. According to the magazine, the Russian army may have lost between 374,000 and 770,000 military personnel killed. These are very large figures, which make these losses among the largest in the entire period of modern conflicts.
The article addresses the total number of killed and wounded. The Economist's analysts used various sources of information, including demographic data, open-source data, and assessments by military experts. Because official statistics are unavailable, the exact figures remain unknown, so the range of estimates is quite wide.
It is important to note that Russia does not publish complete data on its losses, and Ukraine also releases only part of the information about the situation at the front. Independent calculations and assessments by international analysts help to better understand the scale of the war, but they always carry a certain margin of error.
News about losses is directly relevant to Ukraine, as it affects the situation at the front, the negotiations, and the lives of people in the country. Further assessments by experts and independent organisations will help to obtain a more accurate picture of what is happening.
