Ukraine war: A new way of calculating Russian deaths
from More or Less · host BBC Radio 4

But some Russian journalists have been documenting war deaths and have come up with a new way of estimating fatalities using probate records. With contributions from David Frenkel, reporter at Mediazona and the BBC’s Russian Service correspondent Olga Ivshina.
