 Russian media, over 33,000 Russian soldiers killed in war with Ukraine. Journalists from the Russian service of the BBC and MediaZona have discovered that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the war in Ukraine, at least 33,236 Russian soldiers have died, of which 3,836 have been mobilized. The study carried out by the Russian media is based on obituaries in the media, reports on social networks from relatives of the victims and local authorities, etc. Since the start of the Ukrainian counter-offensive in July 2023, at least 2,448 Russian soldiers have been killed, including 234 officers, of which there were two generals and 11 colonels. The investigators note that the last time senior officers of the Russian army suffered such significant losses was in the first months of the invasion of Ukraine. At the same time, every third person who died while repelling the counter-attack of the armed forces of Ukraine was mobilized. In total, since February 2022, 3,863 mobilized soldiers have died in the war in Ukraine. One in five of them survived at the front for less than two months and 60% died in the timeframe from 1 January 2023. Separately, using the same method, the journalists examined data on dead servicemen from the self-proclaimed Luhansk and Donetsk People's Republics. After examining the published obituaries and reports of the search for the so-called nationals from Luhansk and Donetsk People's Republics, who have not been in touch for a long time, the journalists came to the conclusion that by the end of September, up to 20,000 soldiers of the self-proclaimed Republics of Donbas could have been killed in action.
