The lowest number of russians killed in Ukraine is from Moscow and St. Petersburg.
The russian authorities are doing this deliberately to prevent any riots in major cities. This was announced at a briefing by the adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Vadym Denysenko, LB.ua correspondent reports.
"We conducted a special study of where russian soldiers die the most, in which regions. There is a rather interesting correlation here. In the first place, according to their official data, is Buryatia. There are 99 deaths per 100,000 population. In second place Shoigu's homeland - the Republic of Thebes, where 87 per 100 thousand died. Next are North Ossetia - 84 people, Kostroma region - 58 people, Sevastopol - 47, Pskov region, Transbaikalia, Altai Republic - 45, and Dagestan - 43 people per 100 thousand population", he said.
According to Denysenko, the lowest number of deaths of the occupiers, who come from the capital and large cities, was recorded.
"This is important for understanding what Putin fears the most. The lowest number of deaths in the Yamal-Nenets district (Tyumen region, ed.). But there is already a very low population. Therefore, it is likely that there were no participants in hostilities. In second place is the city of Moscow - 0.23 killed per 100,000 population. In third place - the city of St. Petersburg, where 2 killed per hundred thousand population", said the Adviser to the Interior Minister.
Denysenko suggested that russia is deliberately not recruiting residents of large cities to join its armed forces.
"Simply put, it shows that russia is doing everything in its power to ensure that there are no riots in Moscow and St. Petersburg, key cities where all the revolutions in the russian empire and then in the Soviet Union took place, and no one notices the existence of war as such. "The key task of the russians now, apparently, is to prevent any riots in these cities. So that no one there talks about the war, and people don’t feel discomfort", he said.
According to operative data of the General Staff of the UAF, since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, russia lost 27,7 thousand militaries killed.
