Some of the Russian soldiers killed while on vacation

11. I went to this page

It shows 29 names, mostly with picture, of persons who are said to have died in Ukraine. No proof whatsoever is provided that this is actually the case. In some instances, a social media page of the soldiers (?) is cited (vk.com) - I looked at two of these and found that one profile was deactivated and on another one the allegedly dead soldier had just uploaded a new picture on 23 September at 4:23 am.

A similar number of missed are also presented with name and picture. By missed is apparently meant that relatives were unable to contact them. Again, no proof whatsoever is provided.

And the last of the four pages lists Russian soldiers who were somehow shown to have been in Ukraine - most notoriously the ones who were arrested on Ukrainian territory 7 kilometers away from the border and sent back to Russia.

Nobody, even Russian officials, has ever denied that a number of Russian volunteers is fighting and dying in Ukraine. The above only goes to show that the Russian Military Department cited by RT is most likely correct:

“The Russian Military Department considers ‘nonsense’ the statement by Andrey Lysenko, who said, citing data from ‘operational intelligence’ that thousands of Russian troops died on the territory of Ukraine,” the Defense Ministry’s official representative, Igor Konashenkov, said in a statement.

Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council spokesman Andrey Lysenko had earlier made a statement claiming that about 2,000 Russian soldiers were killed in Ukraine while at least 8,000 were injured.
