Scores of Russian soldiers killed in east Ukraine - opposition report


MOSCOW (Reuters) - At least 220 Russian soldiers have been killed in east Ukraine, opposition activists said on Tuesday in a report offering what they called "ample evidence" to rebut President Vladimir Putin's denial his troops are fighting there.

The report, the last project of murdered Kremlin critic Boris Nemtsov, also said Russia had spent more than 53 billion roubles (0.66 billion pounds) in 10 months to fund the conflict and deprived people of 2.75 trillion roubles of money lost to inflation.
