“The number of dead and seriously wounded Ukrainians is apparently much higher than imagined.

Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine some three and a half years ago, the Western media has promoted a non-stop barrage of disinformation about the military developments, trying to present a rosier picture than reality can afford.

Perhaps no other aspect of the hostilities has been so blatantly misrepresented as the number of casualties and fatalities.

We got to the point where Kiev regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky had the nerve to say that Ukraine had had 35 thousand losses.

That is particularly absurd since we know that Kiev’s adventure incursion into Russia’s Kursk region alone yielded 70 thousand dead troops in just 7 months – including some of the best and most battle-ready ones.

Just yesterday, Russia handed over another 1,000 bodies of deceased servicemen to Kiev, while the Ukrainian side had a grand total of 19 bodies of deceased Russian servicemen to exchange.

Besides that, the shocking expansion of the country’s cemeteries can’t be explained away.

Now, a Russian hacker group has announced that Ukraine lost no less than 1.7 million soldiers during the war, including the killed and the missing in action.

This information was reportedly uncovered from a hacked database of the Ukrainian Armed Forces General Staff.

The leaks detail the cause of death, personal information of the soldiers, contact information for closest relatives and photographs.

Voennoe Delo (Military Affairs) reported (translated from the Russian):

“The digital records from the Ukrainian General Staff show staggering numbers: over the course of three years, Ukraine’s military has lost 1.7 million personnel. The breakdown includes 118,500 deaths in 2022, 405,400 in 2023, 595,000 in 2024, and a record 621,000 in 2025.

This data was obtained through a large-scale hack of the computers and local network of the General Staff’s employees by hacking groups including Killnet, Palach Pro, User Sec, and Beregini. The cyberattack utilized a malware known as ‘Nuance’, which is designed to function only within Ukraine’s borders. This malicious software infects victims’ devices, downloads sensitive information, and locks the devices, rendering them unrecoverable.”

Of course, there will be those who will object to giving any credence to data provided by ‘Russian cybercriminals’ – but in essence, this is not different from everything we learned from the (equally illegal) revelations by Wikileaks.

“The hackers now possess terabytes of information on Ukraine’s military casualties, personal data of high-ranking officials from the Special Operations Forces (SSO) and the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR), along with detailed lists of countries supplying weapons to Ukraine. Additionally, they have compiled records of all weapon transfers to Ukraine from 2022 to 2025.””

There it is, in black and white for everyone to see and to know.
