Bloomberg reported that leaked Rosstat data obtained by hackers show more than 11,000 foreign-born fighters have died fighting for Russia in Ukraine since the full-scale war began. Bloomberg's review of the data found records of 11,335 deaths among people born outside Russia, including citizens of other countries, naturalized Russians and Russian citizens by birth, who came from nearly 100 countries. The records cover late February 2022 to late August 2026. The figures have not been independently verified. Meduza carried the report in English, and the hacker groups Cyber Partisans BY and Silent Crow, who said they hacked Rosstat, also claimed that more than 390,000 Russians had died in the war with Ukraine as of late August.
