Commentary and data from the War Tears organization
[ColonelCassad] Confirmed officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other law enforcement agencies of Ukraine who have died since the beginning of the SVO according to the WarTears project.
- Data on dead officers as of December 13 last year - 1,406 people.
- Data ( https://t.me/wartearsorg/168) on dead officers as of February 13 - 1,589 people.
- Lists by rank and a complete list of dead officers (https://wartears.org/posts/dead-officers-all/) are on our website.
In addition to the confirmed names, there is a large array of losses among officers, which is not 100% confirmed and these people are not included in the list until the end of the check, so it is important to understand that this is not a complete list of losses, but a list of 100% confirmed losses.
As, many have already noted a negligible number of cases of death of the generals of the Ukrainian army. If they die, the press does not receive information about this: as happened with the death of Viktor Vladimirovich Gamora, Major General, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Ukrainian Air Force. He died in September 2022 due to natural causes or due to a missile attack on the location of his military unit A0201 - there is hardly any way to know for sure.
We are now also checking posthumous award decrees against our database. There were always questions with these lists - not in all cases the death of a person was confirmed by an obituary. There was a case with the garrison from Serpent's Island: then 13 people were declared dead and awarded posthumously. In reality, it turned out that 85 people were alive and in captivity.
