But facts are in very short supply when it comes to anything the West is involved in. The OHCHR estimated death toll for 3 and a half years of war in Ukraine is 13,883. Ukraine military dead and missing were revealed to be 1.7m, while this figure was dismissed by Ukraine it is corroborated..

The casualties on the Russian side is approaching one million persons, according to a recent CSIS study. Both CNN and the NYT have wrote articles this June, referencing the data collected by CSIS, which would put the casualties at around 1.4 million combined between Ukrainian and Russian forces. As far as the deaths; Russia is at an estimated 250 thousand, and Ukraine an estimated 60-100 thousand. The CSIS figures are in line with British and US intelligence estimates. 13,883 is an extreme low-ball of the death toll for the Ukrainian soldiers, it is in fact much much higher; and the casualty number is far closer to the 1.7 million mark, being estimated in the CSIS study at around 1.4 million total persons.
