1/ At least 250 Russian soldiers a day are being declared missing or dead by the courts, equivalent to the declared daily losses of the Russian army at the front. Although at least 50,000 men are missing, the Russian government is doing little to help relatives. ⬇️
Hey, if they are declared dead, Putler has to pay. Cross fingers for highest amounts of pay-outs out of RuSSia budget to help collapse it faster.
PUTIN DOES NOT CARE. HE ONLY CARES ABOUT WINNING!
How very Russian of them ...
Isn't it cheaper for the Russian government if the men remain "missing"? I think they don't need to pay up then? Or am I too cynical?

2/ Mediazona and Meduza report that by the beginning of August 2025, families of missing soldiers had filed about 50,000 claims to declare their relatives dead, so that they can obtain compensation. The vast majority of the missing are indeed likely to be deceased.
3/ The number of missing is almost certainly far higher than 50,000, due to a number of factors highlighted by Russian warblogger Anastasia Kashevarova. She complains that even now, the Russian military does not have a proper system for tracking them:
4/ "There is still no system for searching for missing persons and there is no single verified database. There are many problems in this issue, as it affects all aspects of the activities of the Ministry of Defence:
5/ "1. Lack of and low level of evacuation. The problem of missing persons is directly related to the problem of evacuation. The wounded need to get to the evacuation point, which is sometimes several kilometres away. And 300 [missing] turns into 200 [dead].
6/ "Evacuation is further complicated by a serious shortage of personnel at the front — there are very few evacuation teams. Evacuation teams are sent into combat.
7/ "And as troops advance, there is also the problem of collecting bodies; they are left lying there because the fighting must continue and there is no one to collect the bodies.
8/ "2. Inaccessibility of evacuation. Often, bodies cannot be evacuated because they are located in territory controlled by the enemy (and the news reported that we had taken the settlement, but in fact we had not).
💥BINGO
9/ "Either the bodies are mined or they lie under rubble and require special equipment, but as soon as the equipment arrives and work begins, enemy drones and shells arrive.
10/ "3. Lack of coordination between the Ministry of Defence, military registration and enlistment offices, military police, the Military Prosecutor's Office, and the Defenders of the Fatherland [FZO, a veterans' and families' support organisation],…
11/ …and the absence of a unified database and integrated support system/service. On any given day, a soldier's family may receive 3-4 different statuses about him: ‘in service,’ ‘missing in action,’ ‘killed in action,’ ‘captured,’ ‘AWOL.’
There is no mystery- they are fertilizing Ukrainian sunflowers, like all the orcs that do Putin's bidding. Slava Ukraine!
