Also on point of leaks, Russian media outlet RBC has been starting to publish excerpts and summaries of the yet-unreleased document that was being prepared by the murdered politician Nemtsov at the time of his death. Nemtsov's sources alleged the following:

Quote:
- No fewer than 150 Russian soldiers died in the fighting during August 2014

- Approximately 70 Russian soldiers (including 17 airborne troops from Ivanovo) were killed in the January-February fighting near Debaltsevo

- Approximately 53 billion roubles ($ 1 billion) from the Russian budget has been spent on the war in southeast Ukraine in the course of 10 months

- Approximately 80 billion roubles ($ 1.5 billion) from the Russian budget was spent on refugees from the conflict

- Estimates by economists of the cost to everyday Russians from the annexation of Crimea include approximately 2 trillion roubles ($ 39 billion) in terms of lost actual wages, and 750 billion roubles ($ 15 billion) in terms of wiped out savings.
