Russian authorities’ records include the deaths of more than 11,000 foreign nationals—11,335 people from nearly 100 countries—during the war in Ukraine, Bloomberg reported, citing confidential Rosstat data.
Bloomberg said the dataset contains more than 11 million death certificates listing places of birth, citizenship and places of death. The data were obtained by the Belarusian opposition hacker group Cyber Partisans and the Ukrainian hacker group Silent Crow, which then provided them to Bloomberg and several other outlets.

The British newspaper The Guardian, which also obtained access to the leak, previously reported that 412,576 death certificates directly linked deaths to the war through official cause-of-death codes or references to combat.
Russian authorities did not comment on the publication. The authenticity of the data could not be independently verified. Russia’s Defense Ministry does not publish regular casualty figures.
