At Least 50,000-70,000 Ukrainian Troops Killed Since Start of Russia's Operation

The casualties among the Ukrainian armed forces since the start of Russia’s special military operation currently stand between at least 50,000-70,000, a member of the RaHDIt Russian hacker group told Sputnik.
"The losses of the Ukrainian army are really very high, much higher than what the office of the president officially declares… They are greatly underestimated, there are clearly not 10, but at least 50-70 thousand losses," the hacker said on condition of anonymity.
Oleksiy Arestovich, an adviser to the head of Ukraine's presidential office, said at the start of June that up to 10,000 Ukrainian troops have been killed since the start of Russia’s special operation.
UN Under Secretary-General for Political Affairs Rosemary DiCarlo said at the end of last month that a total of 4,731 civilians have been killed during the conflict in Ukraine and 5,900 others have been injured.
Last week, the RaHDit hacker group released personal data of 2,500 officers of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of the military department of Ukraine. The hackers said that the published data contains information about the relatives of the said officers and people living together with them, as well as individuals who have been receiving payments from the GUR bank accounts.
Among the GUR officers, there are drug addicts and former criminals convicted of robbery, illegal trafficking of weapons and drugs, infliction of grave bodily injuries, and rape, according to the group.
RaHDit Hacker Group Leaks Data of 1,000 Ukrainian Military Intelligence Officers
RaHDit said that it had handed over the data to law enforcement bodies. A source in one of the Russia special services confirmed to Sputnik the authenticity of the data leaked by the RaHDit hackers about Ukrainian intelligence officers.
Russia launched its special military operation in Ukraine on February 24, after the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics (DPR and LPR) appealed for help in defending themselves against Ukrainian provocations. Russia said that the aim of its special operation is to demilitarize and "denazify" Ukraine. In response to Russia’s operation, Western countries have rolled out a comprehensive sanctions campaign against Moscow and have been supplying weapons to Ukraine.
