How Many Russian Soldiers Have Really Died in Ukraine-YouTube breakdown
But a study published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal PNAS suggested that there’s
1:50
a method to how each country displays its losses.
1:53
On average, Ukraine reports nearly double the number of actual Russian deaths, but doesn't
1:58
have a bias towards reporting their own deaths.
2:00
This is possibly in an attempt to gather support from the countries sympathetic to Ukraine’s
2:05
cause, such as members of the EU and NATO that are supplying Ukraine with military aid.
2:10
On the other hand, Russia severely underreports deaths of their own soldiers, at a rate of
2:15
roughly 0.3 per 1 actual death.
2:18
Any figure from Russia, therefore, should be nearly tripled to get a value that’s
2:22
close to correct.
2:23
Additionally, the Russian media reports Ukrainian deaths at a ratio of a staggering 4.3 to 1,
2:29
meaning that Russians are led to believe that more than four times as many Ukrainians have
2:33
died than they have in reality.
