As many as 6,000 Russian soldiers may have been killed in Ukraine, says US official

Russia has potentially suffered the deaths of 6,000 troops who had been in action since the invasion of Ukraine began, according to a US official, who warned that an accurate estimate of combat deaths is difficult – especially as that fighting continues.

The official said the number of Russian servicemen killed could be in the range of 5,000 to 6,000 or even more, but stressed that there was little confidence in the numbers.

The latest assessment comes after Defense Intelligence Agency chief Lieutenant General Scott Berrier told the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday that the intelligence community estimated that between 2,000 and 4,000 Russian troops were dead in Ukraine.

Berrier also said there is “low confidence” in the assessment. The number of injured could be three times higher, he added.
