“17 per cent of Russian servicemen killed in the war in Ukraine are officers,” Report informs, citing BBC.
According to BBC, at least four of the officers killed in the war were generals, and 21 were colonels: “According to open sources, the names of 4,010 servicemen who died in the war have been identified. There is no complete list of these losses. The number of volunteers killed is overgrowing. Twenty per cent of those killed in the war are over 50. 30-40 volunteers die every week, as reported. Casualties in this or any other category haven’t been reported regularly. Russia has lost at least 42 military pilots in the first four months of the war.
Twenty per cent of the servicemen killed in the war belong to the Airborne Troops, and 19 per cent to the motorized infantry. Local authorities do not report all of the casualties. We are discovering evidence of military deaths in cemeteries in various Russian cities. Not every cemetery discloses 30-100 per cent of the losses.”
