According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Russia has suffered approximately 1,516,430 casualties in Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022. This figure includes the 1,520 casualties that Russian forces have incurred in the past day, and it also accounts for a significant loss of military equipment, with Russia losing around 12,352 tanks, 25,357 armored combat vehicles, 150,922 vehicles and fuel tanks, 50,011 artillery systems, 2,143 multiple launch rocket systems, 1,657 air defense systems, 442 aircraft, 356 helicopters, 2,672 unmanned ground vehicles, 35 ships and boats, and two submarines.

While Ukraine has not disclosed its own casualties due to operational secrecy, Western think-tank reports suggest that Russia's losses significantly outweigh Ukraine's, with estimates ranging from 500,000 to 600,000 Ukrainian casualties, with a potential death toll between 100,000 and 140,000.
