Hackers claim to have breached Russia's statistics system, revealing that up to 450,000 deaths may have occurred in the Ukraine war. The Belarusian Cyberpartisans and Silent Crow groups announced they obtained internal documents from Rosstat, indicating a range of 394,000 to 450,000 fatalities linked to the conflict. The data includes death certificates from February 2022 to August 2026, but the authenticity of these documents remains unverified. The groups suggest that their findings could provide significant insights into the human cost of the invasion. Russia has denied any data breach, while independent sources report lower casualty figures.
