Russia has lost about 400 thousand people killed in Ukraine, Bloomberg reports, citing Rosstat data obtained by hackers
Belarusian “Cyber Partisans” and the Ukrainian group Silent Crow gained access to closed Rosstat data. In it they found nearly 392 700 death certificates related to the war from February 2022 through August 2026.
At the same time, actual losses may be significantly higher: some of those killed are listed as missing, and many deaths are registered with long delays.
The scale of the losses is especially striking:
🔸 Among Russian men aged 18–29 years, the war was the cause of roughly two-thirds of all deaths in the first half of 2025.
🔸 In Buryatia, Tuva, and Zabaykalsky Krai, about one-third of male deaths at ages 18–49 during the studied period were war-related.
🔸 In Moscow and St. Petersburg that figure is about 10%.
Bloomberg notes that the database’s authenticity cannot be definitively proven, but checks found no signs of fabrication, and the numbers agree with other independent estimates.
