## Archyde Interview: Russia’s Casualty Claims in Ukraine Disputed
**Introduction**
Welcome back to Archyde. The war in Ukraine has sadly raged on for over a year and a half, and amidst the devastation and loss of life, one question continues to surface: just how many casualties have there been? Both sides have released figures, but independent verification is tough and discrepancies are meaningful.Today we delve into this critical issue with a distinguished guest, retired Lieutenant General Arne Bård Dalhaug. General Dalhaug served as a civilian observer for the OSCE in Ukraine, providing him with unique insight into the conflict.
**General Dalhaug, thank you for joining us today. Given your experience with the OSCE in Ukraine, can you shed some light on the challenges of verifying casualty figures in an active warzone?**

**Host:**
You mentioned the difficulties in accessing conflict zones. Can you elaborate on the specific obstacles faced by organizations like the OSCE in trying to obtain accurate data?
**[Response from General Dalhaug]**
**Host:**
Russia has consistently released lower casualty figures compared to Ukraine and western estimates. What are your thoughts on the reasons behind these discrepancies? do you believe there’s a deliberate attempt to downplay losses, or are there other factors at play?
**[Response from General Dalhaug]**
**Host:**
The human cost of this war is immeasurable. Beyond the immediate casualties, what are the long-term consequences for both Ukrainian and Russian societies in terms of the social and psychological impact of these losses?
