Troop Casualties in Ukraine War Near 1.4 Million, Study Finds
The New York Times ^ | June 3, 2025 | Helene Cooper

Posted on 06/03/2025 3:08:33 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Nearly one million Russian troops have been killed or wounded in the country’s war against Ukraine, according to a new study, a staggering toll as Russia’s three-year assault on its neighbor grinds on.

The study, published on Tuesday by the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, said that close to 400,000 Ukrainian troops have also been killed or wounded since the war began.

That would put the overall casualty figure, for Russian and Ukrainian troops combined, at almost 1.4 million.

Officials cautioned that casualty figures were difficult to estimate because Moscow is believed to routinely undercount its war dead and injured, and Kyiv does not disclose official figures. The study published on Tuesday relied on casualty figures from American and British government estimates, among other sources.

Utterly ridiculous propaganda designed to keep funding to Ukraine and the money laundering machine there going.

Mediazonia, run by a Russian dissent, and pro-Ukrainian BBC can only confirm 109,625 deaths and only estimates 165,000 causalities.

“More reason to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian life.”

Ukraine is willing to bear any burden and pay any price and as you can see there is very little internal dissent. Perhaps their union with the Russians in the past means that they will not go back.

Putin has got a real problem. I’m surprised he’s lasted this long. Oh well, what’s the old saying, “War is good for business.” However, just don’t get our troops or our nation involved in this mess. It’s just another Vietnam except this conflict could involve a world decimation rate.

I’ve been wondering about the death toll, mainly because so many people have incentive to lie either way.

I saw a really good study that used Russian death and disability claims (public information) and it looked for excess death and disability claims paid by the insurers (who handle both troop and civilian deaths and disability). They are reinsured just like every insurance company and disclose their claims.

Assuming there is not some other cause of excess death and disability(a very large assumption given excess deaths from Covid vaccines) these number fall in the middle of the possible range which wasn’t that wide.

Somewhere in the 850 to 1.100 Russian casualties is where the study came out.

Given attacker vs attacked casualty rate is usually 4:1, this all seems plausible.

True or not Ukraine is withering away by a meat grinder war subsidized by the West who cheer leads a fool in Zelensky. Russia and Ukraine have two men who are erasing generations but Russia has enough to win the a war of attrition especially of young men.
