Russia has suffered over one million casualties.

Omissions

• The figure includes killed, wounded, and missing, not just deaths
• Sources vary significantly: Ukrainian military claims vs. UN-confirmed data show large discrepancy
• The CSIS source (1.2 million casualties) is an estimate from a think tank, not official government data
• Casualty figures in active conflicts are inherently uncertain and subject to significant estimation error
• The MEP did not specify that these are estimates rather than confirmed figures
