Guerre en Ukraine : 400 000 morts russes, le bilan que Vladimir Poutine voulait cacher
Le Monde reports that hackers — the Belarusian Cyberpartisans and the pro-Ukrainian collective Silent Crow — penetrated Russia's Rosstat statistics agency and analyzed some 11 million death certificates, which Bloomberg cites for nearly 400,000 Russian deaths since the February 2022 invasion, a figure the Kremlin had kept secret. The certificates mention the "special military operation," bombardments, and drones.
