General Staff: Russia has lost 1,531,060 troops in Ukraine since Feb. 24, 2022
The number includes 2,090 casualties that Russian forces suffered over the past day.
According to a report from Ukraine's General Staff, Moscow's forces have suffered over 1.5 million casualties in the ongoing conflict since February 24, 2022, with additional 2,090 deaths reported the previous day. The report details a significant loss of military hardware, including tanks, armored vehicles, vehicles, fuel tanks, artillery systems, rocket launchers, air defense systems, aircraft, helicopters, unmanned ground vehicles, naval vessels, and submarines.
Ukraine's General Staff has not disclosed its own casualties, citing operational secrecy. Western analysts, however, estimate Russia's losses to be roughly 2.5 times or 2 times higher than Ukraine's. Independent reports suggest Ukraine has likely suffered between 500,000 and 600,000 casualties since the war began, with at least 55,000 killed in action as of February 4, 2026.
The ferocity of Russian attacks, particularly through the use of drones and glide bombs, has made the retrieval of fallen soldiers' bodies challenging for Ukraine, as DNA confirmation is required.
