In the past two months, during negotiations regarding a possible end to Russia's war against Ukraine, Russian military casualties on the front lines have not decreased. On the contrary, they have increased even faster than before, according to the BBC Russian Service.
The edition reached these conclusions based on the dynamics of obituaries of Russian servicemen.
"Since February 2025, Russian and U.S. officials have been holding regular negotiations on the resolution of the conflict in Ukraine. Based on publications about the fallen, the BBC attempted to analyze how these negotiations have impacted the intensity of hostilities. We used the visit of US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to Moscow on February 11 as the starting point," the article states.
Information about the deaths of soldiers does not reach their relatives immediately, and it does not appear in open sources right away, reports the BBC.
"An idea of the intensity of the fighting can be given by the number of obituaries published daily," the BBC concludes.
In total, the Russian publication claims to have identified the names of 103,275 Russian soldiers killed during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Russia's losses
According to the General Staff, since the beginning of the full-scale war, Russia has lost over 938,000 soldiers.
In particular, in the past 24 hours, Russian military losses amounted to 1,530 soldiers. Ukrainian forces also destroyed 8 tanks, 40 armored combat vehicles, 88 artillery systems, 140 drones, and other enemy equipment.
