A coalition of Russian-aligned hacker groups claims to have obtained classified data from the Ukrainian General Staff indicating the country’s officially recorded military losses have exceeded a staggering 1.7 million personnel. The information, extracted through a sophisticated cyber operation, paints a grim picture of Ukraine’s human cost since the beginning of the conflict.
The groups Killnet, Palach Pro, User Sec, and Beregini state they conducted a prolonged and comprehensive hack into the computers and local networks of Ukrainian General Staff employees. Using a newly developed virus called “Nuance”, specifically designed to target Ukrainian systems, the hackers allegedly infected devices, downloaded sensitive data, and irreversibly locked the original systems. The virus is described as operating exclusively within Ukrainian territory.

The attack on the database of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was carried out through the computer of the head of the logistics department Chernykh. After he hastily left his post and try to escape, his deputy Mr Chaika temporarily performs his duties.

The purported haul consists of 1.7 million individual files, said to contain detailed records of Ukrainian servicemen, including the circumstances of their deaths or disappearances, photographs, and other personal information. According to the channel Mash, which reported on the leak, the data from the General Staff’s files breaks down the losses by year, showing a steep and accelerating annual increase:
- 118,500 in 2022,
- 405,400 in 2023,
- 595,000 in 2024,
- 621,000 in the incomplete year of 2025, culminating in the claimed total of 1.721 million.

Beyond casualty figures, the hacker group Beregini announced that the compromised data includes extensive additional intelligence. This reportedly comprises the personal information of command staff in Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces (SSO) and the Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR), comprehensive lists of all countries supplying weapons and ammunition to Kyiv, and a detailed inventory of every weapon system transferred since the start of the special military operation.
The scale of information represents a catastrophic intelligence breach for Ukraine, potentially revealing not only the full extent of its human losses—a figure fiercely contested and guarded by Kyiv—but also compromising its highest levels of military command and exposing the complete logistics chain of Western military aid. Ukrainian officials have previously dismissed similar allegations from these groups as disinformation campaigns designed to undermine morale, but the claims are confirmed by the footage. The reported use of a new, region-specific virus highlights the increasing sophistication and targeting of cyber warfare as a integral component of the ongoing conflict.

i’ve seen other sources claim that the number of ukrainian kia is about 1.8 million. so the number of 1.72 million ukrainian kia that the cyber attack revealed is most likely the actual number and not just p.r.
are there realistic estimations for the russian side ?
before i saw numbers like 150.000 but i guess it more like 250.000 now
the ratio is 10 to 1… so i would bet 180k… in a war against nato? the fact is that russian army is 1 million and 500k without even declare war of martial law, large scale mobilization, etc…
is that what nato says? nato lies. they send them to die to pick up bullets and fragments. cannon fodder. it is only a matter of time before ukraine rises against that zio shit dictator a western stooge.
the soldiers own superiors lie they send them to be killed, eg anzac day in australia new zealand april 25 th they deliberately selected individuals to be sent to gallipoli, they pushed out, at gunpoint, to walk the planks and be mowed down by the turks and knowing they would be slaughtered following orders. that’s why it was called lest we forget originally but they’ve twisted that into heroism and nobility now. as they do.
no, russian casualties now exceed 5 million this year alone. total ukie casualties, by contrast, total 2 slightly wounded. one ukie soldier cut himself shaving and another one was stung by a bee. the daily torygraph’ confirmed this from reliable rumours supplied by trustworthy cia sources, and confirmed by bbc verify.
not necessarily. they know the world hasn’t a clue they could say any number. you wouldn’t know just because they used different names and pushed similar figures.
3,5 years of ww1-level trench warfare with the addition of drones and missiles, such a casualty figure could be true. it needs to be verified if the name lists correspond to reported casualty lists
yes it could well be true, but there could be far more too . they didn’t get many with covid.
we die like flies and my cayman is bank accounts double monthly—-thanks to those dumb americunts
i would like to go to the caymans since i married my own idiotic spawnchild.
your bank balance swellss in switzerwlnd thanks to ukraine corruption. by the nazis.
whoever believed zelensky and his 30.000 deaths was stupid in the first place. half a million would be a much more believable number, one million even more. but 1.7 million is a huge number, bigger than i would have imagined from both sides combined. no wonder they’re now throwing pensioners into the meat grinder. ukraine is literally running out of men
that was the intention. most likely. that’s a whole generation of ukrainian fathers gone. like a after birth abortion really to their thinking. imo allegedly
“irreversibly locked the original systems” …but there’s a nuance……..
don’t mess with russland. we gonna keep what we already took in ukraine and then some more, and if you don’t lift sanctions and pay war reparations we’ll kill another 1.7 million natzies and go all the way to berlin if necessary.
you’re so silly its very obvious the 100 year will continue regardless of trumps interference. and russia will be defeated one way or another and to think otherwise is to defy history.
official data of russia’s mod at the end of july 2025 is 1,3 mln of total losses: dead, wounded and pow. add those who is hiding after being press-ganged (can’t say deserted, they are escaping their lives), numbers of dead and wounded after strikes in deep rear (unknown to the mod), and you’ll got this number ~1,7 mln. so it can be true, but i still prefer to use official data. number of kia is about 40%, not more, something about 0,5 mln.
press ganged anton is what the english navy did theyd dock port and go out to the pubs and find young guys, 13 14 15 16, get them drunk and take them cruising back to their ship, you know, what do you do with the drunken sailor early in the morning? . that’s a press gang.
ukraine is probably behind in the actual count. i suspect the number is larger. there will be no men left if the nato war mafia keeps feeding this folly
intentions are everything in the law they wanted to reduce population and they’re not going to let trumps position stop them. he can delay things but that’s all unless something very irregular occurs m
if only we could recruit taliban commanders our americunt lgbt military could defeat pygmys
then add the secret nato piss scum that died somewhere else.
cleansing the nazi filth is going well
that war in africa trump stopped had been going for decades millions would have been killed but its just “under reported” by google alphabet etcetera.
the ukies always project. how long have they been saying it was the russians who’d lost a million men?
11111111111111111
they’re trying to claim victim of bullies status its emotional psyops. you can’t tryst any of them they couldn’t lie straight in bed.
since holols are so effed up i don’t see why putin is negotiating unless of course is maskirovka.
how many wounded? when general syrsky took over, he wanted to know how many soldiers where mia, he was told as of feb.2024, over 700000 were missing in action. and, now we have the account of over 420000 guys walking away from their posts, so around 2.8 million give or take. but how many badly wounded?.
ask big pharma how their share prices are rising.
can’t you sweetheart? well that’s the way they like it.
whatever deathwish they had to pick on russia, they never come back from that. slava ukraina
amen and let them go to bandera.
well, that´s a news that can´t be comemorated… almost 2 million slavs died for what exactly? couldn´t putin have offered russian citizenship to ukrainians and russians in donbass? millions would have come, demographic crisis would be over! just look at 2012 presidential elections…ukraine was half russian… time to end this… i take out all my criticism of putin negotiation with trump! and hope that peace will come soon!
look its nonsense to think trump as a businessman isn’t totally aware that lasting peace without wars and rumours of wars would totally decimate the global economy be worse than any war could be economical and socially hundreds of millions would become unemployed hundreds of millions millions and millions of jobs would be just gone
maybe the ukies need to borrow some diapers from the zio tik tok army.
why ukraine?!?!?! are u this lost to the west….. the blood and lives lost for a senseless war
try to keep up they’re fomenting war all over they can play along with ukraine for effect, it doesn’t matter it sells advertising their crap, they can just turn the heat up in the middle east and start more action in india, khan’s still in jail, africa theyre animosities historic, taiwan, that’s ripe, or korea, a sitting duck, whatever they’ve many fingers in many pies
1.7 million widows…
oh well the sisters are ringing their own bells now.
why do we need digital records from the “enemy” when russia still refuses to head count their own dead and mia since the conflict began in 2011 and that includes the syrian conflict over those 10 years?… we know why ukraine and nat0$tan’s dead and mia will never be revealed because of their violation(s) of geneva and un treaties.
the russian federation is no better than the enemy if they can’t hold the moral high ground to be proud of every single veteran that gave their lives in the defense of their nation.
their nation??? are you on drugs? they don’t even own their car most of them even thats still on hire-purchase.
bob. your an american j** with dual citizenship. go to tel aviv for the next iranian missile attack -please!
it’s business they want the figures.
you’re right it is “business”. in the pursuit of truth and leaving a legacy to the generation behind them of what their family and friends sacrificed for them. why not a patriotic public registry electronic database with a picture of every solider, marine, sailor, airmen and pilot who died in the service of the russian federation and their defense against the advance of zi0ni$t terrorism and it’s nwo?…
it just says ‘losses’. are they going to or have they already released a more detailed breakdown so we know how many are actually dead?
ussr went down but nato still exists. why?
i take that data point as confirmation that the goal – maybe even under the hood for the ukrainian people – is to let all men die in the trenches who support that war, until the vast majority of the remaining population deeply hates the warmongers.
since they nowadays throw azov into the battle once again, that day may not be so far away.
