General Staff: Russia has lost 1,540,700 troops in Ukraine since Feb. 24, 2022
The number includes 1,750 casualties that Russian forces suffered over the past day.
The General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces has reported that Russian forces have suffered approximately 1,540,700 casualties since their invasion of Ukraine began on February 24, 2022. This figure includes the 1,750 casualties from the previous day alone. The losses extend beyond human life, with Russia also losing a significant number of military hardware, including tanks, armored vehicles, artillery systems, and aircraft.
Ukraine has not disclosed its own casualties due to operational secrecy, but independent Western estimates suggest that Russia's losses significantly outnumber Ukraine's. Western think-tank reports estimate the Russian-to-Ukrainian casualty ratio to be around 2.5:1 or 2:1.
