Leaked estimates show more than twice as many Russians and Ukrainians have been killed in the war.
Up to 43,000 Russians and 17,500 Ukrainians may have died on the battlefield, US intel reveals.
Leaked US intelligence documents reveal that more than twice as many Russian soldiers as Ukrainian soldiers have been killed while fighting in Ukraine.
The documents, which were recently leaked on social media and are currently the focus of a federal investigation, offer estimates for Russian and Ukrainian casualties.
One document in particular suggests that Russia has suffered between 189,500 and 223,000 casualties, including between 35,500 and 43,000 soldiers killed in action and between 154,000 and 180,000 troops wounded.
Ukraine, by contrast, has suffered between 124,500 and 131,000 casualties, including between 15,500 and 17,500 soldiers killed in action and between 109,000 and 113,500 troops wounded.
Both the lower and upper estimates of each military's war dead pegs Russian deaths at more than two times that of Ukraine. »
