Russian military losses mount amid internal sabotage and proxy arrests
Leaked mortality data indicates Russian combat deaths in Ukraine may approach 500,000, amid targeted internal attacks and proxy network arrests in Europe.
Analysis of leaked mortality data from Russia's Rosstat agency indicates that Russian military casualties in Ukraine may have surpassed 400,000 and could approach 500,000 personnel. The report coincides with ongoing scrutiny of regional recruitment practices, including the drafting of individuals with severe mental health conditions.
Inside Russia, targeted attacks against military leadership continue. Russian media reported that a 31-year-old suspect took a job at a St. Petersburg hypermarket to monitor a Russian colonel before detonating an explosive device delivered via balloon.
Meanwhile, European counterintelligence services are actively targeting suspected Russian proxy networks. In Latvia, security officers raided a rural estate near Riga to arrest suspected operative Vasilijs Kovacovs.
