A group identifying itself as KillNet says it has breached the General Staff database of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and obtained files listing about 1.7 million soldiers as killed or missing since the start of Russia’s invasion in February 2022. The alleged trove is said to include photographs, identity documents, death certificates and dog tags. The casualty figure, if accurate, would dwarf all previous public estimates of Ukrainian military losses. The claim has not been independently verified, and there was no immediate public comment from Kyiv in the material reviewed. KillNet and Russian-state media outlets publicized the purported leak on 20 August.
