Today Russia's KIA confirmed by name is 170'000 https://t.me/pechalbeda200
Four weeks ago BBC+MediaZona published another verified tally of #Russia killed in action (KIA) since 2022. Their record is verified based on published obituaries and various databases (like public inheritance register) but also very clearly accounts only for Russian citizens.
Their verified number of KIA was 150β000 back then.
Most notably it doesnβt account for mobilized as βcitizens of DNR/LNRβ, large numbers of whom were killed especially in the first two years of the war.
The data is roughly consistent with other databases such as βGoryushkoβ channel which as of now counted 160β000 KIA confirmed by name https://t.me/pechalbeda200
None of the verified databases account for soldiers who are missing in action (MIA) or heavily wounded. Therefore estimates of the total irreversible Russian losses are in the range of 400β000-500β000 people.
