Ukraine’s Interior Ministry launches website about Russian army losses

That’s according to the ministry’s press service, Ukrinform reports.

"From now on, information on the objective picture of losses of the Russian army, illegal armed groups of the so-called "DPR" and "LPR", and private military companies that participated in the armed aggression against Ukraine is available on the web resource "Losses.NET"," the statement reads.

As noted, the idea for the project arose after the Russian defense minister announced Russia's losses of 5,937 people in September last year, but according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the occupiers' losses at that time were already more than 50,000 people.

"We started collecting data from open sources. Volunteer organizations, telegram channels are also actively engaged in this activity, and an objective picture of losses is covered in the media and social networks. Therefore, it was decided to collect this information in one place so that we could verify the real losses of the enemy that exist today," the press service quoted Deputy Interior Minister Leonid Tymchenko as saying.

As of now, the web resourcecontains information about 56,827 Russian representatives who died in Ukraine. The website contains the following information about the deceased: surname, name, patronymic, place and date of death, as well as a photo (if available).

As reported earlier, according to the General Staff, the Ukrainian Defense Forces eliminated about 183,130 Russian invaders during the full-scale war.
