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.

BBC propaganda
I see diversity has superseded professionalism where BBC News is concerned.
Information about Russia's economy!
Trade between Russia and the EU grows for the first time since November 2023
Russia's exports increased by 21%, to €3 billion (more than R$18.3 billion), while those from the EU grew by 24.5%, to €3.03 billion (almost R$18.6 billion).
Among the main trading partners, the biggest growth in July was recorded with:
1.Finland, with a 3.1-fold increase to €226 million (around R$1.3 billion);
2.Croatia, with a 2.7-fold increase to €58 million (around R$355.1 million);
3.Romania, with an increase of 2.6 times to €41 million (around R$251 million).
However, trade almost doubled with Sweden (around R$848 million), the Czech Republic (approximately R$1.4 billion), Ireland (almost R$490.5 million) and Spain (more than R$ 2.2 billion).

Путлер Капут!
70k is probably the number of new graves in Russia. From the daily videos we see there is 20-30 every day and of course whats being videoed is only a small part of whats going on, also there is tens of thousands of bodies not being collected, many cannot be collected unless you want to play puzzles while being pewpewd at. True number is probably 200k-400k.
Things are the other way round but it was said more than one hundred fifty but now seventy thousand
russian rubbish
Verified- the actual number is 4× more.
Hold up here, Russia lost 70k ppl?? What's the death count of Ukrainians to date??
I keep hearing 500, 000 Dead Russians. I saw a report about the "body collectors" who try to identify the dead on both sides. So many Russians already skeletons with some having no "dog tags" to identify them. Only their uniforms and equipment to identify friend from foe. Why this huge discrepancy in number?. The Russians are still using WW2 tactics with poorly trained troops and equipment.
Ukraine is kidnapping every human balls on the street😂😂😂
They know that I know,I know that they know.So they want us to feel stupid.(Burning Spears)
The whole world knows the the truth.
BBC we are tired of your hypocrisy.
You can do better than that 😮
Why are the news all lying? The death toll between Russian and Ukraine is 6.8 million.
Russia’s war dead tops 70,000 because of Brit who's name is Boris Johnson.
Lies we know you people how do things
These numbers don't mean much, the real numbers are much higher. Lets recall all the Russian Z-ombie circus when Ukraine claimed to hit their flagship "Moscow":
"No, Ukraine doesn't have such capability"
"No, Ukrainian attack was successfully repelled: no damage"
"No, There is only a little smoke"
"No, Moscow is going to port for a paint job"
"No, Moscow is being towed to port due to a mechanical issue"
"Ok, Moscow sunk due to big waves, 1 sailor died"
LOL
😢😢😢😢
Useless
Two goats 🐐 cannot agree on peace that's making 70000 families fatherless
How many people died when british troops colonized africa..20mn.
This is BBC not reality. We know the west with their media
These "democracies" are so funny, they clean up the comments under their videos
Russia won't lose no matter what
Better shut up
Bbc has gone too low and irresponsible
BBC is a total disgrace. What a stupid and poor journalism. Doing all what they cann try to make please think Ukraine is winning.
How many Ukrainians soldiers died? BBC thinks people are stupid.
Ukraine lost 166,000 dead and wounded during the unsuccessful counteroffensive in the European summer and autumn of 2023 alone.
For small pieces of scattered land. That really struck me! Human lives have no value at all! Some people are so stupid and senseless for thinking you can die for your country! Let the politicians fight their own war! I wish we are still in the days when kings and rulers go to war too!
70,000 ONLY? FAKE NEWS,,,HAHAHA….PUTIN IS EVILLLLLLLLNO GOD IN RUSSIA PUTINS KARNA IS COMMING..
He will see His offspring He will pro.ong His days and the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in HIS hand as a result of the anguish of HIS soul HE will see it and be satisfied by His knowledge the Righteous One My servant will justify the many as He will bear their iniquities therefore I will allot HIM a portion with the great and He will divide the booty with the strong because He poured out Himself to death and was numbrred with the transgressors yet He Himself bore the sin of many and interceded for the transgressors. ISAIAH
For the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due His grave was assigned with wicked men yet He was with a rich man in His death because He had done no violence nor was there any deceit in His mouth but the LORD was pleased to crush Him putting Him to grief if He would render Himself as a guilt offering
He was oppressed and He was afflicted yet He did not open His mouth like a lamb that is led to slaughter and like a sheep that is silent before its shearers So He did not open His mouth. By oppression and judgment He was taken awayand as for His generationwho considered that He was cut off out of the land of the living
All of us like sheep have gone astray each of us has turned to his own way But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him.
