Hacker groups Cyber Partisans and Silent Crow claim to have hacked Russia's Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat) and obtained data on Russian casualties in Ukraine. They estimate that over 450,000 Russians have been killed in the war, making it the fourth most common cause of death in Russia since 2022. The figures align with other assessments, including a British Defense Ministry estimate that over half a million people have died fighting for Russia. The data leak is the most significant of its kind, according to Janis Kluge of the German Institute for International and Security Affairs.
