British broadcaster BBC has claimed that 50,000 Russian soldiers have been confirmed dead in the two-year war against Ukraine.
According to a report by the British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC Russia, the independent media group Media Zone and volunteers have been counting the number of Russian soldiers killed in the war since February 2020 and adding new graves in cemeteries. The plaques on it provided a lot of support in counting the number of soldiers killed.
According to the report, there was a 25% increase in the death of Russian soldiers in the second year of the war, and the number of Russian soldiers killed in the second year of the war alone was 27,300, but this figure has been strongly denied by Russia. .
The BBC report states that the number of Russian soldiers killed in the war is 8 times higher than the number of casualties recognized by the Russian authorities.
The analytical report states that the reported death toll does not include the number of Russian soldiers killed in Donetsk and Luhansk, if this number is included, the number is much higher than 50,000.
On the other hand, very few details have been given by Ukraine on the casualties in the war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in February that 31,000 soldiers have died in the war against Russia, but according to American intelligence reports. Ukraine’s war losses are much higher than that.
