Andrei Morozov, nicknamed Murz, was a well-known Russian ultranationalist blogger. He suggested suicide after having to delete a publication in which he estimated that the Russian deaths in that battle tripled the Ukrainians.

Murz blamed his death on the pressure of the Russian high command and the attacks on television by one of the heads of Russian propaganda. The Russian Ministry of Defense has not published an official figure on casualties since September 2022 - and it was already significantly lower than the sea of ​​obituaries published in the country.
