But I mean, at the end of the day.

Russian hospitals are not providing are not being transparent on the numbers of Russian soldiers.

So there there were a few places that we we were able to pull out some data sets, but they were generally on the very low side.

And I mean, I just don't think you could pull a comprehensive report together

without actually having visited Russia and going to these hospitals and getting them to give you data that they're not going to give you.

But we did get access to everything we could.

MediaZona, for example, has a data set of...

of Russian soldiers that have been killed partly by hospital data.

We also were able to look at some obituaries.

But even there, we've noticed that the Russian press has been asked to not report on, you know, not place obituaries in newspapers and report on funerals of Russian soldiers.

So there's a there's a lot of hiding this in in the press.

I think if you look at what the Ukrainians have suffered, I mean, our estimates were that the Ukraine has lost somewhere between 500,000 and 600,000 casualties.

So that's killed, wounded and then missing.

And out of that five to 600,000, they they have lost somewhere between 100,000 and 140,000 fatalities.

And that again, that's between February of 2022 when the full scale invasion starts and then December of 2025.

So two interesting things come out of that for us.

One is that if you project current rates of Ukrainian casualties plus Russian casualties,

Those combined numbers, they will likely hit, again, if the current trends stay the way they are, 2 million by the spring of 2026.

Actually, if you continue with the trends as they are today, it'd be April of 2026.

The second thing that's of interest is the ratios.
