General Staff: Russia has lost 1,537,390 troops in Ukraine since Feb. 24, 2022
The number includes 1,520 casualties that Russian forces suffered over the past day.
The General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces has reported that Russia has suffered approximately 1,537,390 casualties since the start of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. This figure encompasses 1,520 Russian fatalities from the previous day alone and includes a staggering number of military assets lost, such as tanks, armored vehicles, aircraft, and artillery systems.
Ukraine has not disclosed its own losses due to operational secrecy, but Western think-tanks estimate that Russia's casualties far outnumber Ukraine's, with the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) suggesting a ratio of around 2.5:1 or 2:1. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has stated that at least 55,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed in action since the invasion began, though the exact number remains undisclosed.
