The losses of the Russian army in dead and wounded may reach 2.1 million, - The Economist The total losses of the Russian army in the war against Ukraine, including dead and wounded soldiers, may reach between 1.4 and 2.1 million people. According to publication estimates, the number of Russian dead may reach 770,000. The publication compared the new estimates to previous calculations: July 2025: 190-350 thousand dead, 900 thousand - 1.3 million total losses. May 2026: 280-518 thousand dead, 1.1-1.5 million total losses. October 2026: 374-770 thousand dead, 1.4-2.1 million total losses. Thus, only since May the lower limit of the estimate of the number of dead has increased by 94 thousand, and the upper limit - by 252 thousand. Since Russia does not publish reliable official data on its military losses, the economist uses a statistical model. And we are on Facebook, Instagram, X, Tiktok Tok, YouTube.
