Ukraine Cites 1.3 Million Russian Personnel Losses Since 2022

The update aims to shape how the war's toll is perceived.

Overview

  • Ukraine's General Staff issued a new cumulative tally that puts Russian personnel losses at 1,315,070, including 1,100 reported in the last day.
  • The military also listed large equipment losses for Russia, including 11,866 tanks, 40,046 artillery systems, 240,598 drones, 435 aircraft, and 33 ships.
  • Ukraine said it will not publish its own wartime casualty totals, citing operational secrecy.
  • President Volodymyr Zelensky previously said at least 55,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed, and a January CSIS study estimated 500,000–600,000 total Ukrainian casualties with 100,000–140,000 killed.
  • Independent analysts at CSIS assess Russian losses likely exceed Ukraine's by about two to one, while heavy fighting and drone activity hinder body recovery and outside verification.
