Russian combat deaths exceed 450,000 per leaked official statistics

Hackers published data from Russia's government statistics agency indicating over 450,000 Russian combatants have died since the war began, including a Spanish national and dozens of Latin Americans. The figures are unverified but represent the first official statistical disclosure of Russian losses, which Moscow has not confirmed. This development challenges official narratives and could affect domestic morale and international perceptions of the conflict's cost.
