The figure is significantly higher than what the Russian authorities have previously stated. Last week, they reported that 498 Russian soldiers had been killed and that 1,597 Russian soldiers had been wounded.
Ukrainian authorities have not stated how many people have died on the Ukrainian side. The war between Ukraine and Russia has been going on since February 24.
