Russians have submitted inquiries regarding 50,000 missing occupiers in the "I Want to Find" project. This number could be higher, the Head of the Secretariat of the Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War, Bohdan Okhrimenko, reports.
Okhrimenko explained that there was previously a hotline within the "I Want to Live" project, and later, a separate project, "I Want to Find," was created.
"Today, we can state that the number of missing persons for whom we have received requests exceeds 50,000 Russians. And these are only the ones who are not afraid to reach out to us," said Okhrimenko.
The Head of the Secretariat of the Coordination Headquarters noted that according to recent reports, approximately 48,000 Russians were missing.
"According to our estimates, there are over 100,000 missing Russians in total, not counting those we already know have died. Many missing Russians are scattered across our fields; dogs carry their remains. Their identification is of no interest to Russia," Okhrimenko added.
Russian military losses
According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, since the beginning of the full-scale war, Russia has lost over 793,000 soldiers. Just in the past day, Ukrainian forces eliminated 1,080 invaders.
Ukraine's Ministry of Defense also reported that in 2024, Russia suffered record military losses, totaling more than 430,000 soldiers, which is equivalent to nearly 36 motorized infantry divisions.
The highest enemy losses last year were recorded in December. The previous record was in November.
