Respected Russian human rights activist Elena Vasilieva has announced that 382 Russian soldiers have been killed in Ukraine during the last three days.

“[I] came back

from the war zone. It is impossible to call it an ATO zone – it is a real merciless

war there,” Vasilieva writes on her official website. “I’m already afraid to write these numbers. The Russian army has huge losses over the past three

days. 382 people – selected Special Forces, marines, paratroopers. Up to 500 injured.

More likely the number of wounded is much higher. But we have no access to the

full information about the injured from the Russian side.”
