Russia's proposed 2024 budget allocates funding to the families of 102,700 military personnel killed in Ukraine, giving insight into Moscow's likely death toll in Russian President Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine that began in February 2022.
The figures, which have not been independently verified by Newsweek, were reported on Thursday by independent Russian news outlet Mozhem Obyasnit, which analyzed Russia's federal budget draft for 2024 to 2026. The publication notes that in addition to one-time insurance payments for military personnel killed in Ukraine, relatives also receive monthly compensation of 21,922.12 rubles ($225) from the Social Fund of Russia....
According to the publication, the government's expenses more than doubled compared to 2022, and the difference of 2.250 billion rubles ($23,151,125.25), divided by the monthly payment, suggests Russia will need to pay the families of 102,700 military personnel killed in Putin's war in Ukraine.
"According to the authorities' forecasts, 100,000 Russian military personnel will die within two years of the [war]," Mozhem Obyasnit reported...
Russia's death toll continues to rise amid Ukraine's grinding counteroffensive to recapture its occupied territories. According to figures released by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Friday, Moscow lost 1,030 soldiers over the past 24 hours, bringing the total to 285,920...
Russia itself rarely releases figures on troop losses. In September 2022, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said 5,937 Russian troops had been killed in the war in Ukraine since late February 2022...

“The battle would not still be some dozens of miles from the Russian border after nearly two years of war had Ukraine 10x the casualties of Russia.”
In July 1918, the front line was still within 50 miles of Paris.
Russia has over 100,000 dead and hasn’t even advanced more than 100 miles from their border
FAIL
I was expecting something totally different. :)
you two are both idiots
Wright is always wrong
if you’re that desperate, then it’s yet more subtle proof that Russia is losing
Well, Mr. canuck_the_fool, don't you feel pretty stupid about now?
You've been here for quite a long time hawking Biden and his cronies' lies about how the Ruskies are being defeated and their leader and country will disintegrate. Remember the "most devastating of all sanctions?" I do. How'd that work out for you?
Yet, here we are today, and the Ruskie GDP growth is greater than most Western countries; they still control 20% of Ukie land and have for the last 18 months or so. And you take the news from your US mainstream media that quotes the "Likely" death toll, which has "not been independently verified" as the absolute gospel.
You probably believed that January 6th was an insurrection and coup, Hunter's laptop was Russian disinformation, there were WMDs in Iraq, hookers peed on Trump in a Moscow hotel, and that we won our battle in Afganastain (after spending a trillion or so dollars).
Excuse me, but nobody believes your lies just like we don't believe your great leader, Biden, and his cronies!
Knock off the name calling.
if you two really believe that statistical BS, then you are idiots
For the Ukrainians, for the Russians it is moving backward, North Korean ammo leading to blown tubes and lousy accuracy, poor maintenance leading to more blown tubes and gun loss, and the desperate use of ancient tanks as a lousy artillery substitute, and the loss of Russian counter-battery capabilities while losing at least 876 artillery pieces.
See the article at post 23 for details.
I think they will settle for just most breeding age males.
I notice you’re OK with it.
Psycho.
“The pro-Russian keyboard warriors do seem not to care about the lives of the Russian soldiers.”
Nobody gives a darn about Russian soldiers.
Especially their government.
