Description

More than 70,000 people fighting in Russia’s military have now died in Ukraine, according to data analysed by the BBC.

For the first time, volunteers - civilians who joined the armed forces after the start of the war - now make up the highest number of people killed on the battlefield since Russia’s full-scale invasion began in 2022.

BBC Russian and the independent website Mediazona have collated and identified these names.
