So -called units “DNR ”and“ LNR ”in the war of Russia against Ukraine could lose from 21 thousand to 23.5 thousand people.
This conclusion was reached by the Russian BBC Russian Service, the media and the volunteer team, having studied published obituaries and reports on the search for missing persons from these regions occupied by the Russian Federation.
“The vast majority of these losses occurred for the first year of invasion – and this can be compared with the losses of all official units of the Russian forces during this period (25 769 people), ”the publication reads.
According to journalists, mobilized residents of so -called “DNR ”and“ LNR ”rarely hide in Russia – most did not study in Russian schools and had much less social ties within the Russian Federation than the Russians themselves.
In general, by the end of the third year of the full -scale war of Russia against Ukraine, journalists and volunteers on the basis of open data established names 95 026 of the dead Russian invaders. 16 171 of them are convicts sent to the front from the colonies. But, as emphasized in the publication, this amount includes only those whose criminal record was confirmed from open sources. In fact, the dead prisoners are much more, emphasized in the Air Force News Russian service.
Analyzing data on losses from the Russian side, journalists concluded that from every 10 dead who fought on the side of Russia, three people are prisoners, and two more are residents of so -called people “DNR ”and“ LNR ”.
“Hasty mobilization, lack of training and uniforms, deliberately impossible tasks. As a result, a huge number of dead and missing persons whose fate becomes known only after months or years,” the article said.
The real loss of Russia is much higher than it can be established through open sources, emphasized in the material.
According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces, in the last day from February 20 to February 21, the army of Russian invaders lost in the war against Ukraine 1280 soldiers. The total combat loss of Russians from February 24, 2022 – about 864 860 invaders.
