The estimate of 352,000 fallen Russian soldiers refers to the period from 2022 to the end of 2025. The data was compiled by two Russian media outlets using lists of fallen soldiers. This figure includes both the officially recognized dead and soldiers who are considered missing and whose bodies have not been found. Reporting on the high casualties could influence public perception of the war in Russia.
Additionally, the news agency Meduza reports that Russian media are increasingly trying to prepare the public for a possible military defeat. This could indicate the ongoing challenges faced by Russian forces in the Ukraine conflict.
