- A BBC investigation suggests more than 50,000 Russian soldiers have died in the war in Ukraine. Researchers from the BBC and the independent Russian website Mediazona studied burial sites and other evidence. The Kremlin does not disclose official figures.
The war also continues to claim many Ukrainian lives. The latest Russian missile strike has killed 17 people and injured at least 70 more.
Ukraine’s President Zelensky called on his country’s allies to offer the same support as they have shown to Israel. A $49 billion proposed new aid package is due to be voted on in Washington in the coming days.

Last year you said 300,000 dead Russian soldiers. Lmao.
Source?
True they always change
Bbc they said it not us......@@scarletcrusade77
No one ever said this! Why making waves where there's no wind? All what's being said was 300000 losses, that included dead and heavy injured soldiers.
And two years ago it was forecasted that Russia would soon ran out of missiles and ammunitions, its economy collapsed,Putin was supposed to be on his deathbed , Ukraine is winning ,Russian logistics were outdated ,its troops were demoralized,lacking basics equipments . Two years later , population of Ukraine had decline to less than 20 millions from 52 millions at time of independence,forced to undergo 10 waves of mobilizations , and now struggling with manning its front line , facing ammo shortages. Western top tiered weapons like patriot s,himars , switchblades , bayraktars , m777 , leopards tanks ,Abrahams,JDAM s ,numerous other game changers have consistently failed against Russian weapons . Russia is no longer isolated and nato countries like France and the Baltic poddles are being forced to sent troops and still failing to halt Russian advances . Ukraine is been forced to capture unwilling men at gun point and forcing them to join the military.
Whatever the figures, it is a shocking waste of [mainly] men's lives on both sides.
Both sides, MY ASS. WTF are you talking about. It's NOT a waste of lives on Ukraine's side, their men are bravely defending their country from an evil aggressor trying to gobble up their country.
the only sensible comment
True, but sadly there is always a war somewhere.
Wel spoken!
What about the people who identify as non binary and all that bs. Please be more inclusive when discussing the dead of war. I know all the woke are out there fighting for their rights to 🤭
Love that people STILL dont know the difference between CASUALTIES and DEATHS in war.....
That's a sign that people need to RESPECTFULLY inform them about it.
@@loszhor dumb animals like to be unrespectfully useless...
Most westerners are too stupid to know anything.
Whatever to death toll is, the floral industry in Russia is Booming. Put up some large greenhouses and get Rich!
50K is a conservative figure, it is actually 3 times that. Casualties, ie.. injuries, are 2x to 3x that amount. Now do the math.
Wait a minute, every other source claims well over 450,000 casualties on the Russian side with almost half of them KIA!
How could everyone else be so wrong?!?
They are not "wrong" they are simply inflating numbers for propaganda purposes
Wondered the same thing, but found this:
-The 450 000 are dead, wounded, prisoners and missing.
In war there's usually many more wounded then killed (and we don't know how many will heal quickly)
- The basis for the 50 000 is obituaries on the internet, so it's a minimum confirmed.
It counts only the ones with an obituary on the net that states they died in Ukraine, and has to be found. So many are going to be missed out.
-All the ones blown up in those giant explosions or left lying in woods and ruins will likely be noted 'missing' forever and not show up here.
-Note that the BBC is very prudent in reporting...and that's good.
Chris has no clue what "casualties" mean
@@ZarkowsWorld Do you know what WIA, MIA, and KIA mean?
this minimum confirmed , as in the lowest possible estimate
If 50 thousand Russia soldiers have died Why doesn’t the bbc tell us how many Ukraine soldiers have died
Redundant since Russians are always stating numbers for Ukraine
Instant denial on future loans. 😉
You know why
Zelensky has told the world only 31,000 ukies died out 43,000,000. Thats Ukraine is now in the outskirts of Moscow.
the official number from the ukrainian government of the number of dead is about 30k, but that doesn't include people who are 'missing in action', in other words probably dead, of which there is surely another 100k at least
the figure of 50k russian soldiers dead is also ridiculous, but that's just the ones who got a proper funeral on a military cemetery with their name on the grave, so
How did it go from 300,000 to 50,000
Nobody says 300k are dead, they do say 300k are killed, wounded, missing, captured or have deserted.
Exactly my question 😂😂
bruh because when ukraine launched that major offensive they had room to spread propaganda till russia started tapping that @ss
they undied
All the numbers you speak of aren’t possible .
They mobilized 180k to start .
Have reinforced with 300k . Those are spread out for defences and assault units etc . Air Force , transport .
The true numbers are around 50k for Russian soldier losses , and usually it’s a 8 to 1 ration . 8 being the defenders losses to every one of the attackers . Hence why Ukraine is asking for another 500k to be called up
That’s wild, over twice the amount of Soviet soldiers that died in Afghanistan over 10 years
And close to the amount the US lost in Vietnam over a decade, and look how that war affected the US public.
Afghanistan wasn't a high intensity conventional war, neither for the soviets or the americans.
Ukraine is a high intensity artillery war, of course casualties will be much higher in this conflict.
@@piatan1632excellent point.
Its propaganda...
No way it’s 50 thousand. This seems like a massive down play
50k is a downplay by the BBC, we all know that. USA intelligence has 315,000 Russian troops killed.
You’re thinking casualties
@@Bdigital9482 Russian death-casualty ratio is way closer than Western countries, due to doctrine and supply. 50k is probably a very low estimate.
35 k prisoniers in bachmut, + 25k adiivka , and who knows how many got killed in the first months of invasion.
why is it a downplay? BBC has been tracking their losses since the beginning. Russia hasn't really lost that many troops, most of hte losses that you thought you saw was DPR/LPR before their integration into Russia
Imagine going to fight for someone you don’t like against someone you don’t hate.
Imagine having to go to fight for a clown
50k sponsor by steroids freaks lol
Iraq? Vietnam? Korea?
@@TheRealBillBob loud noises, bub
Do you mean fight FOR someone you dont like?
Only 50,000?
BBC has been sold to Russia?
Maybe you believe too much Ukraine propaganda 😂
BBC is propaganda.
Yes, somewhere around 50,000.
In the end, propaganda is not good for you.
Lol last year U.S intelliegence say it was at 350,000 dead russia troop confirm. So i think the true figure right now its 500,000 dead russia soldier at least
Can you show me on the doll where the truth hurt you? Do you need a safe space?
Only 50,000? I thought the numbers were much higher!
The numbers are probably much higher, the BBC has estimated it to be a lot higher, this report is only talking about deaths the BBC could confirm.
They can be made much higher
Ukraine got the aid. Ukraine is Russia’s Vietnam. It’s so hard for these poor people. The Ukrainians have suffered tremendously
Say Ukraine like Vietnam is so weird, we have many different in negotiation and fighting method.
Even Soviet, China gave Vietnam weapons, we still tried to make more weapons by ourselves when Zelensky called Us and allies for more aid everyday.
We always wanted to make peace with Us before taking back South Vietnam. We wanted independent and Ukraine had everything we wanted in the first place, they wanted to join Nato for what?
L O O O L
@@ASEAN-BALL no , you don't understand. If west is saying , you have to believe, otherwise when time comes we will sanction you.
The comparison is poor. Vietnam was the jungle, Afghanistan mountains. Ukraine is nearly completely flat just like Russia is in large parts. That means Guerilla tactics are far less effective for example.
@@janekmundt579 Actually, Ukraine doesn't use guerrilla strategy, they used convention strategy from the start (The strategy Usa and France prefer using in most battles). Moreover, Vietnam did not only use guerrilla strategy in the ground, they used sky guerrilla warfare too, Ukraine can do this if they want because they have better air forces than Vietnam but they did not use so...
50,000:
I think that the decimal place has been moved.
Leaked pentagon documents last march clearly stated 40k dead russians. One year later while they had the advantage being 50k make sense. No one with a brain believed the 300-400k claim. Everyone just ignored the pentagon leaks and kept up the bs. BBC has courage to report the true casualty reports. Media is stopping the bs. Ukraine is losing big.
BBC Now tell us how many Ukrainian soldiers have died
They have done in other reports.
Why?
@@lascm5237so that we can understand the overall death toll? There are too many men who've been lost to this war
@@marviwilson1853 No, they havent. All they have done is quote Ukrainian officials who are just as big a liars as western officials and press.
@@lascm5237 You do know Ukraine just passed a bill to force people to stay in wars longer, they have lowered the age of conscription, offered sperm donations incase they don't make it, etc. Meanwhile the politician kids are out of the country, and the rich have fled. Commanders are not declaring people who have died, so they don't have to pay out to the families. Yeah... could be worth knowing who gave their lives. They are dying for nothing, a proxy war between US and Russia.
Way lower than the MSM told us. Wasn't it supposed to be above 500,000 or even million? 😢
just go back to sleep you have nothing...
It seems to cannot understand that casualties means wounded and killed - here they find the minimum number of 50,000 dead. There is usually several times more casualties, as not every hit or injury is lethal.
@@stevenmoore3480 Just go yourself if your own argumentation is this level
ukraine claims 52.000 russians died just for the town of avdeevka. But ukraine claims a lot of things, if you actually tally up the numbers for tanks and planes they claim to have destroyed, you exceed the total number of tanks and planes ever produced in russia.
@@ZarkowsWorld no, they were quoting dead and the biggest numbers they can find. Even if the 300,000-500,000 number was wounded, how would Russia still have an army? Its like double what was in Ukraine 12 months ago. Dont be so gullible, you clearly fell for the lies upto now - cut your losses and start seeing reality.

And 400 000 injured?

Evaluation of Russian losses by multiple western sources are at least 300,000 to “confirm” 50,000 is to provide aid and comfort to the enemy. Not surprising considering the BBC’s track record.

its no longer 500 000 ?
Sorry you are so stupid you don't know the difference between killed and casualties
Total casualties could be closer to such figure, 50k is only funeral obituaries from mediazona, doesn't account for all deaths let alone the wounded.

These media are no longer taken seriously
50,000 out of them are like 30,000 cannon fodder from prisons around the country.
They don't count wanger or mercenary let alone the Russians buried in mud or burnt up in vehicles
They didn't count Wagner
lol no, most prisoners are not even identified by name. Only a couple of thousands are prisoners among these 50,000
Actually 50000 is what a very small group of people (probably less than 10) have found searching obituaries, graves and social networks of friends and relatives of the deceased.
As happens with Oryx, a few guys cannot count everything that appears on the internet, and only a fraction of the destroyed/killed appears on the internet. So the figures are way higher.
@@Davidman3976 Today is not the 18th century and everyone has accounts on social networks. The real figure will not be much higher..

Have you noticed that nobody is mentioning the word "Genocide" in this conflict against Ukraine.
They are but there's no tiktok bot propaganda spamming the word genocide to divide Dems when it comes to Ukraine
Because the number (official) of civilian dead after 2 years of operations is still below the number for Gaza for 6 months ; and it's not a one-sided war.

Yes, because once again…Europe wants to sit this war on the continent out. So, as Zelenskyy said, it’s the us or no one. Pretty pathetic

Come to America and see how useful “democracy” is lmfao. It’s useless. Just regime change after regime change of corrupt officials either on the left or the right that are obsessed with killing ppl and making money at the expense of the poor.
Ask Zelensky, he has cancelled elections twice, arrested all his oppositions, closed independent medias and killed 10x more Ukrainians
Very true. Zelensky is a dictator, a puppet of NATO. Half a million dead Ukrainians by a clown actor acting the role of President of Ukraine.

They said that last year with the "summer counter offensive " I notice the bbc seem to forget about it.
Firstly, I'm not sure they said verified figures. Which is what these are. Secondly, it's in the nature of things for information to change. That's why planes don't navigate as if the earth was flat. Thirdly, it's a news item. Do you seriously expect the news to mention the last few years with every item? But I think you already know all this and are just throwing mud.
You're so in love with BBC. But you wouldn't jump in the middle of frontline war to stop and ask questions for news broadcasting. It's rather unforgiving to water down the deaths of soldiers on both sides to some statistical rates. Families of these men and women are devastated with grief, and nightmares. President Putin is cold as frozen blue fin fish. The war will end, sooner, than later. The focus of the war is based on cocaine distribution. You can't be a country leader, and be pushing drugs for cartels whoever are claiming territories that doesn't belong to them, are hell bent.
The BBC are very good at 'forgetting' things. Just look how they conveniently forget the Muslim rape gangs...and how quickly they forgot about the attacks by Hamass on October 7th 2023. It's almost like they do it on purpose..
And that is not a true figure because there are thousands more that were blown up on the battlefield and never too be seen again so those poor people cannot be counted.

In contrast the Afghan War lasted for 9 years, it cost 15,000 killed and 35,000 wounded seriously. Some say 400,000 wounded since 2022.
The Soviet Union, of which Ukraine was a constituent state, was fighting a Tier 3 Islamic insurgency armed with light infantry weapons. Russia is fighting a Tier 1 adversary - all 31 nations of NATO. And Russia is beating their faces in. Zero comparison with Afghanistan.
Look the map . Population. Afghanistan is mountains. And, the war was absolutely on different way. Poo tin destroying the country, infrastructure, civilians.
But, he will be a looser as always. Russia never won any war in history. But, always started first.

@@ibreathenapalm1718 because you can only recruit replacements
Russia recruited 450k soldiers on top 50k wagner and many others
To put this into some perspective...
The US lost 55,000 in over 10 years in Vietnam. So 50,000 Russians in 2 years is catastrophic!
This figure is considered low by embeded independent journalists. The number of MIAs and POWs is also extremely high.
And what is even more catastrophic is the toll on the Ukrainians soldiers side, approx 500000 according to reliable indépendant sources and some Europeans politicians ,and twice more wounded as for any battle. Hence why ukraine gov and its police try and force poor Youngs off the streets and homes to be sent to the dealdly frontline… ,disgusting,!

You know you people seems to forget Russia isn't fighting ukraine at this point,its Russia vs america,nato and ukraine so not such a fair fight.and Russia is still winning by a mile.
While you are right it is catastrophic,you gotta consider Some factors for this,like how ukraine is literally right next to Russia which means they deploy troops faster
unlike the US which had to travel long distances and they didn't deploy soldiers that fast,which made the war on vietnam a very slow battle thus it took that long
Obviously with more soldiers to fight = more possible deaths
Im starting to believe Russia can invade nato countries with ease
Maybe even the us
Vietnam didn't have western money, world support, aircraft, satellites, drones, missiles, air defense and other modern things.
But it still shows that American society and the military are weak mentally and morally and will be willing to surrender if they suffer heavy losses in any conflict.

A couple years ago russia were at 50k dead. Currently 150k would be more accurate
Leaked pentagon documents last march clearly stated 40k dead russians. One year later while they had the advantage being 50k make sense. No one with a brain believed the 300-400k claim. Everyone just ignored the pentagon leaks and kept up the bs. BBC has courage to report the true casualty reports. Media is stopping the bs. Ukraine is losing big.
No it's most likely under 50k.
I don’t get why a high quality media outlet like the BBC isn’t capable of getting rid of simple hiss in their audio.
For those who haven't figured it out, 50,000 killed, 300,000 casualties which mean injured, disfigured, sick and missing.
Out of that 300,000 a wound could be as much as a bullet to the shoulder and the soldier is out fighting again 3-4 weeks later.
Looks like Russia's war strategy is "send in the troops... and then send in the undertakers!
We're regularly bombarded with what generally appears to be inflated figures of Russian casualties, but for some reason, it's incredibly difficult to hear of Ukrainian losses from the same sources.
They lost 50,000 pieces of equipment you know more than one person dies in those. Bs numbers
2.5k 🇺🇸 soldiers died in Afghanistan during the 20 year old conflict. 3 years and 50k Russian soldiers already dead in 3 years 💀
Let’s keep it in context, Ukraine is the second best army in Europe, armed and paid by these west. Russia is the strongest land military in the world at this time (not my words, there are many sources admitting this), Afghanistan was a low intensity conflict, gorillas warfare, ieds, hit and run, Ukraine is what we call a high intensity conflict, an artillery war, with tanks, trenches, machine guns nest est, nothing comes close to this type of conflict in recent time with the exception of the ;Iran/iraq war in the 1980’s). Russia out guns Ukraine 8 to 1, Russia has 150 million people, Ukraine has less than 33 million people due to the refugee crisis, Russia has the strongest land army in the world, this is a war of attrition, RUSSIA WINS IN THE LONG RUN… 🏆🏆🏆🏆🔥🔥🔥🔥

Bbc can you please tell us how do you know that
Read the article, it goes into details about how the number was calculated.
Putin told them, so it must be true..
Did you not watch?
It’s explained in the film genius
Wow, 4 useless replies, you're all dunces! The source is "mediazona", which actually takes real obituaries reported in Russia for their evidence. So this number is 100% confirmed, there may be more unconfirmed, but this is what we know 100%. Mediazona is not Russian state media.
Bro they lost 20k alone in bakhmut… they have over 100k KIA and 300k injured
This is very literally the BBC's estimates.
how do you know that idiot? lol
It is well known that Russia became Christian by adopting Orthodoxy in 988, Kiev was then the capital of Russia. And now, attention, the question is: in what year did Ukraine become Christian?
So i cant wait to see the idiots in the comments section who still think Ukraine only lost 37,000 lol..Now you see how ludicrous zelensky sounds.
And who might you be.
Nobody thinks that... And we also know close to halve a million Russians died or were wounded... the EU has a free press, it is NOT America or Russia.
That's a joke! A US Army General said that there were 315,000 Russian KIA.
The general must be a clown then. If bbc itself is admitting 50k think about all the other lies you where told
Casualties are not the same as KIA. Casualties can mean injuries.
315,000 Dead and wounded. They are saying only about dead. Putin:" everything is going according to a plan".
@@paulurban2472 bbc is saying about 50k dead. 315,000 is dead and wounded.
Propaganda really brain wash the clowns Ukraine lost million men
Lots of people in the comments confusing deaths with casualties...
50k dead. ~400k casualties (death + wounded)
No you're just galsighting. Ukraine claims 450k dead and not casualties. Pathetic you are indeed.
Literally 30k died alone in bakmut
your delusional lol. Leaked pentagon documents last march clearly stated 40k dead russians. One year later while they had the advantage being 50k make sense. No one with a brain believed the 300-400k claim. Everyone just ignored the pentagon leaks and kept up the bs. BBC has courage to report the true casualty reports. Media is stopping the bs. Ukraine is losing big. ps at bakhmut they attacked from 3 directions with artillery superiority and air support. They inflicted 7 dead ukranians to every dead russian. Most ukranians never see a russian they get killed in shelling or airstrikes. French intelligence leaks last month puts Ukranian casualties at 30k a month while Russian forces grow 30k a month now.
50,000 ? That number is short by couple of 100k....
You must be smokin' a lot of the same thing as Z 😅
You must have been to Elensky coke plant 😂😂
@@sjv9147sexactly
The bbc is a western propaganda machine for sure, and will never discuss (Ukraine’s true military casualties, which are horrific 400,000 to 600,000 kia and over million wounded to Russia’s between 40,000 to 60,000 kia (which includes the Russian military, Wagner, and the two Donbas militia) and 120,000 wounded, horrific casualties on both sides however the war will end on Russia’s terms.
Fake news fake news fake news full affect news from the west😂 news news 😂😂😂
No, go check it out, the US goverment realsed the numbers as well, they said 50,000 killed and over 150,000 ingired, Ukraine on the other hand is still unkown
what is the correct news bro?
@@letsplaywar The west media always says Ukraine is winning but you see now who is winning people are being brainwashed anyway another half 1,000,000,000,000 pounds gone from there US bank Funding the war😄😄😄😄
That number cannot be correct
LOL!!!! It’s a hell of a lot higher than 50k. More like 400k ORCS. You see Russia does not count the Wagner Group, Chechens, Tajiks, Uzbeks, foreigners they hired, etc.
Why dont the BBC give the true figures off Ukrainians losses
They do in other reports. This was just a report about Russian losses that they can confirm.
The article is about RUSSIA. the criminals.
Russian bot

@@sharzadgabbai4408you project much you Ukrainian bot.
Putin has the blood of all the deaths in this war Russian and Ukrainian on his hands
I believe 50,000 KIA’s is a pretty low estimate. Back in January the figure was around 450,000 casualties, with about 1/3rd being KIA. Now it’s down to 50,000 ? No way.
Maybe that number is just those who received a burial ?
The numbers cannot be accurately counted as many of those killed were in armoured vehicles and tanks, they would have been totally obliterated.
Also the large number of Russian POW’s, captured or surrendered, will have greatly depleted their fighting force.
Not that Putin is worried about the numbers, he will just have another round of conscription. So more mothers, wives, children and family members can mourn the loss of their loved ones.
Prisoners* mainly let’s be honest. They’ve reduced their prison population which saves millions every year. Doesn’t take a genius to work out why they sent them.
The BBC😂😂lmao
Did BBC not tell us Russia was losing, was out of ammunition, Putin had cancer? Watch another channel if you want reality, not the BBC
How many lives has Ukraine lost?
Do your own research.
@@pervertt That is what I am doing stupid lol
By asking the comment section instead of asking Google 😝😝😝
lots...
For those of you that don’t know the BBC has only counted dead Russian soldiers that they actually know the names of. Painstaking work.
@BBC why do you lie in the first place, now you have to cope, you lost credibility a long time ago
BBC should do a report on Ukraines casualty numbers. It would go 500k KIA, 1 Million crippled, wounded, missing, captured and deserted.
you've just described the russian real numbers.
@@petrovepryk3786 Brainwashing is strong with this one
@@mickser101 you mean yourself?
@@petrovepryk3786 cry harder chump. Ukraine has astronomical casualty numbers. The only people that can't see it are the brainwashed Ukraine bots who think they're winning
That's like only 5% of al the Ukrainian soldiers killed. They still want us to believe Ukraine is winning. Smh😔
do you even understand how numbers work?
Ukraine is winning by staying alive vs much stronger opponent for more than 2 years already, while having barely 10% of the required supply aid.
so u say russia is winning?
where?
those 0.01 !% they capture every months? russia has less of ukraine occopied as they had start of the war.
again ur point is what???
They were saying it was like 300k over a year ago
so 50.... right? not 350, not 450?
poor people ,no matter who started this war, its not worth of all these dead people. :( its not peoples war, its the leaders war.
It's Putin's war. Ukraine has been invaded. The Ukrainian people are fighting to defend themselves.
It matters very well who started a war, always! Using war to dominate others should be condemned by all of us. But, unfortunately, little changed since the world was on fire in the last century and millions lost their lives.
@@teardrop-in-a-fishbowl it's just one aspect, but there are many things a country can do to deteriorate relations and then, without endorsing the attack, it's also fair to say that "they had it coming". The US cutting oil exports to Japan before WW2 comes to mind. It's always sad for the people who are victim of the war on both sides, but leaders seeking to exonerate their pre-war policies because the other "hit first" is too simple an explanation for this complex world.
@@Longlivethe4th One always finds reasons to wage a war, so simple is it. If we can't let go this devastating behavior we, at one day, will extinct and rightly so. Sure this human world is complex and powerstructures and the will of the mightiest rule it, but certain things like war are pretty simple. It doesn't matter why it matters that! All who have excuses for such behavior don't come from places like secular humanism like me. And I don't even have to take a side to know "War is wrong! Don't!".
It's always that way since time immemorial. So?
They lost 40k in one town alone. If you believe this bs, you'll believe anything.
😂 you're an idiot
According to who? Ukrainian MoD?
bro are you stupid? 40k bodies on 1 town? what drone footage did you see of that? exactly none ukraine saying ow russia lost 40k on 1 town o russia is sending them in wave after wave in a meat grinder you ever seen any drone footage of that? No but then you do see drone footage of russian exucting ukrainian solders hmm bit weird no?
@@Smarcue2025your mom told me
@@tm-ln4hj suck on deez
BBc figures are actually quite accurate hence they don’t disclose Ukriane figures . Bakmut and Adviika was huge blood bath with deaths close to 100K
BBC support Mediazona who seem to be the only organisation who try to collate accurate figures. Unfortunately nothing exists to do the same for Ukrainian casualties.
Lot more than 50k it's nearly half a million. If it was only 50k they would not be struggling for recruits. Been on the main news 450,000 , do where this info is from is in incorrect.
All on Putin...he will go down in history as the idiot who thought he was great
Do you think Putin actually care how many lives he sacrificed😅 This guy will risk everything to get what he wants.
I dont think so. Ukraine wdv never fought back like that at such cost. But its uncle sam the US who made them and funded them for thier own agenda. Did u know this? Maybe not
According to who? You some nobody from the back blocks? And less than half of the people in the Anglo-Saxon alliance?
Putin has 80% support in Russia even by independent polls. Twice as much as the most popular politician in the western world.
You have delusions of grandeur western fool.
U really didnt want nato expanding their shit right near russia did you? Well atleast the russians didnt
@@sunUK20 We have not send anything this year. Did you know that your father Pooptin invaded a country.
and this rate does not even count foreign volunteer deaths in the Russian army which is probably in the thousands too.
A Nepali co worker of mine told me his friend is fighting in the Wagner group in the Russian army since recruitment in late 2022. He said that out of 50 in his batch only 15 are left alive.
Those figures are laughable I am led to believe well over 300.000 in total on both sides.Pointless
Russia ( 1 country) death 50000, Ukraine with 46 countries help death 500000
yeah, indeed sounds like nonsense, right?
Ukraine lost 31,000 soldiers, and the Russians lost 50,000. In fact, this seems to be true, because if both sides had lost 600,000 soldiers in 2 years, as propaganda claims, it would have been a demographic and economic disaster for both countries.
@@StatetrooperBillyBill No, there are no big losses in positional warfare. This war has long been a positional one.
@@Sean-kt9cm it's your western narrative. Russia defeated Nazi German, Napoleon, Ottoman Empire. Yes Russia underestimate CLOWN zelensky. Russia is gaining Ukrainian territory day by day. Mariupol, Bakhmut, Chasiv Yar all recaptured, follow the frontline news accurately. Russia is Superpower in terms of Nuclear Weapons & Nuke Submarine in the World...Russia never lose the war...Learn more- I am not a Russian....- Cheers
@@Sean-kt9cm Pills are in the drawer.
Not 50,000, more like 460,000!
Ukraine over 700.000
Kinda hard to count the deaths of Russian tank crews when they were vaporized after the ammo ring in their tank detonated.
Each tank requires 4 guys to operate it, so just count the tank hulks x4= the number
I am very surprised that BBC is saying that it's 50,000" that seems very unusual to me. Everyone knows Russia is closer to 1 million soldiers lost.
Ukraine officials don't even say 50,000. Any reporter or researchers could count 50 thousand in all the videos of the war on the internet in the first 3 months of the war alone.
If 50,000 Russian soldiers died, then Ukraine must have lost over 1,000,000 soldiers
You are clearly retarded.
Why not 30 milions ,stup@id alcoholic trol? Jump back on youre Goat and shut up.
Why...let's just use the logic threw the fact that defensive party in war has advantage and has threw history shown to take fewer losses
@@MrKuti89 I mean while that makes sense, even Ukraine admits Russia has a 6-10 fold advantage in armoured fighting vehicles, artillery, drones, aircraft and guided missiles/munitions so it would make sense if Ukraine suffered more casualties than Russia (due to its overwhelming firepower advantage). In artillery shells alone Ukraine fires 6,000 to 8,000 shells a day while Russia fires upwards of 40,000 to 60,000.
Plus, Zelensky signed a new law which removed the need for soldiers to be demobilised after 36 months of combat, meaning they can remain on the frontline until they are wounded, die or are captured and there is increasing evidence of them just snatching random men off the street.
I think most of this evidence, alongside continued Russian advances show that Ukraine will soon be at the end of the line when it comes to their available manpower reserve, which means they either have to mobilise hundreds of thousands of additional troops, negotiate or continue to have the situation rapidly deteriorate the way it is now.
Ukraine has a small population of around 28 million. Russia has about 140 million.
Amazing how the BBC can determine the number of Russian casualties from their offices, but can't seem able to determine the number of Ukrainian casualties! 😋
😂😂 putin has lost

R i P. To all the fallen soldiers in this war
Haven't watched the whole video but it talks about the increasing size of Russian cemeteries. My guess is that as Russians often leave their wounded behind they probably wouldnt care too much about, even if they could, to recover bits of bodies literally blown to pieces. So for every dead soldier's body, returned to the motherland for burial, there must be many more dead lying in Ukraine . So that 50,000 is only a fraction of the real death toll.
Why didn't you show that died sitizenes in Chernihiv? Franch soldiers?
What is the ratio? 25/1
People responsible for the war: 1-5
People dead because of those responsible: > 100,000
I don't ever want to hear how modern society has advanced when this kind of thing happens.
Ukraine is not winning what happened 😂
It's getting close to the point where there will be a obvious winner, so media is lying less.
