The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has reported that Russia has suffered around 1,482,150 military casualties since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine began on February 24, 2022. This figure includes 1,400 Russian casualties from the previous day. The losses reported by Ukraine's General Staff span across various categories, including personnel, armored vehicles, artillery, air defense systems, aircraft, ships, and submarines.
Ukrainian officials have not disclosed their own losses, citing operational secrecy. Western think-tanks, such as the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), estimate that Russia's casualties are significantly higher, with a ratio of roughly 2.5:1 or 2:1 compared to Ukraine's losses. Ukraine's President, Volodymyr Zelensky, has stated that at least 55,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed in action since the onset of the war, though the exact number remains undisclosed.
