The Ukrainian project @hochuzhit_com has published a photo of a document with Russian losses over 8 months, from January to September 2025. According to it, total KIA numbers 86,744, roughly 10,843 per month, which is very close to our earlier estimates. Total losses are 281,550
Based on intelligence reports (e.g., ODNI, FBI) and tech disclosures (Meta, X), foreign actors like Russia, Iran, and China have frequently used fake accounts to amplify divisions after U.S. political events, including violence.
