Leaked data from Rosstat, Russia’s state statistics agency, suggests that more than 400,000 Russians have been killed fighting in Ukraine since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion nearly five years ago.
Scale of the leaked records
The information was obtained by Cyber Partisans, a hacker group linked to the Belarusian opposition, and Silent Crow, a Ukrainian hacking collective. The dataset contains more than 11 million death certificates.
The certificates include details of each deceased person’s age, place of residence and location of death. The hacked records show the scale of losses since the invasion began.
