nanoparticle··on War Atlas: An interactive cartography of every named war in human history
The website cites "Wikipedia: Russo-Ukrainian War; Ukrainian Ministry data" as its source, but the figures in the overview (600,000+ Ukrainian military deaths, 100,000+ Russian) aren't close to anything in either source [1].

Unless russian efforts to flood the internet with English-language news sites pushing the russian narrative into training sets and retrieval [2] are working. There is even a website tracking the known russian networks that flood the internet with news articles [3].

That's true, but how can elections be safely conducted during an active phase of the war?

Only during 2025 russian forces launched over 54,000 long-range drones and over 1,900 missiles
