For the second anniversary of the war in Ukraine, Mediazona and Meduza release the second part of our investigation into Russian casualties. Using a method we developed six months ago, we reveal the number of KIA Russian military as of the end of 2023: https://t.co/CdUHJJvpcp

Russian invasion plans, obtained by The New York Times, show that the military expected to triumph in Ukraine within days. We drew from interviews, intercepts, documents and secret battle plans to show how a "walk in the park" became a disaster for Putin.

The unredacted letter from members of Russia's 155th Naval Infantry Brigade to their governor says that they and the 40th Naval Infantry Brigade sustained 300 KIA/WIA/MIA over four days. They blamed Eastern Military District commander Rustam Muradov. https://t.co/lI81fqiL9G

Ukraine published documents reportedly from Russia's 1st Tank Army showing its losses through March 15. It lists: 61 KIA, 209 WIA, 44 MIA, and 96 taken POW. Incredibly, the 2nd Motorized Rifle Division's 1st Tank Regiment allegedly lost 45 T-72B3M tanks. https://t.co/Qh0CWECA9S

@GirkinGirkin 4/ The Central district does not even border Ukraine, and troops from there have no business being near Ukraine outside of a major exercise or something more sinister. Moreover, we've seen footage of military trains passing towns in Siberia and the Urals - also in that district.

@GirkinGirkin 3/ We can't be sure where the convoys were heading. But we know that the obscured number plates are significant, because recently we spotted a video from the border region of Voronezh (Western military district) showing military trucks with a Central Military District code (76)

Russian convoy watch update: there's been a minor but troubling development. @GirkinGirkin spotted two videos where we can either hear or see for ourselves that parts of the Russian trucks' number plates are obscured: namely the 2-digit codes that denote a military district. 1/
