Kremlin Dismisses Casualty Report Claims
The Kremlin disputes CSIS figures estimating up to 325,000 Russian deaths and warns data are politically sensitive amid scarce official updates.
- The Kremlin on Wednesday rejected a Center for Strategic and International Studies study as unreliable, with Dmitry Peskov saying casualty figures must come only from Russia's Defence Ministry.
- The Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies concluded in a study that around 1,200,000 Russian casualties, including up to 325,000 troop deaths, were estimated from February 2022 to December 2025, using Mediazona, BBC, and British government estimates.
- Verification is hampered because Russia's Defence Ministry last reported 5,937 battlefield deaths in September 2022, while Mediazona in collaboration with the BBC lists 163,606 names amid repressed reporting.
- Trilateral talks will resume in Abu Dhabi on Feb. 1, and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine, warned fresh strikes would discredit diplomatic talks while there was no immediate comment from Kyiv.
- The study warned combined Russian and Ukrainian casualties could hit two million by the spring, and CSIS said no major power has suffered losses near these since World War II.
