General Staff: Russia has lost 1,493,790 troops in Ukraine since Feb. 24, 2022
The figure includes 1,440 casualties that Russian forces suffered over the past day.
The General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces has reported that Russian forces have suffered around 1,493,790 casualties since the start of the full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022. This figure encompasses 1,440 casualties from the previous day and includes a significant loss in military hardware, with Russia losing 12,325 tanks, 25,272 armored combat vehicles, 143,642 vehicles and fuel tanks, 49,162 artillery systems, and 1,604 air defense systems, among others.
The Ukrainian General Staff has not disclosed its own losses due to operational secrecy, but independent Western analyses, such as a January 2026 report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), suggest that Russia's casualties are significantly higher, with a casualty ratio of roughly 2.5:1 or 2:1 compared to Ukraine's.
