A data leak from Russia's Rosstat reveals over 450,000 Russians have died in Ukraine, making it the fourth leading cause of death in Russia. This conflict is the deadliest for Russia since World War II, surpassing losses in the Soviet-Afghan War. The leak occurred during a cyberattack by Belarusian hacker groups, which also stole economic and demographic data. The total death toll may be higher, as it does not account for missing soldiers or foreign fighters. British estimates suggest total Russian losses could reach 1.5 million, including wounded.
