    Number of dead/heavily wounded is around 1k/day for more than a year. What “rise” are they talking about?

      I assume you’re referring to Ukrainian MoD figures - they’re less disconnected from reality than russian ones but they’re still propaganda.

      BBC News Russian has been counting Russian war losses together with independent outlet Mediazona and a group of volunteers since February 2022. We keep a list of named individuals whose deaths we were able to confirm using official reports, newspapers, social media, and new memorials and graves.
