Irretrievable losses to the Russian army in Ukraine may amount to more than 90,000 people.
Source: Important Stories website, citing two sources – a former officer of the Russian special services and an active FSB officer
Details: Irretrievable losses include those killed in action, the missing, those who died from wounds in hospitals, as well as the wounded who cannot return to military service.
The figure announced by Russian media sources is close to the data made available by the UK Defence Secretary, Ben Wallace, in early September. According to the Secretary, more than 25,000 Russian soldiers had been killed in Ukraine [at the time of his statement, 5 September - ed.], while he noted that if you add those who were injured, captured or deserted, the total number could be estimated at more than 80,000 people.
The Russian Defence Ministry last reported losses in September. At that time, Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said that 5,937 Russian servicemen had been killed in Ukraine.
