According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Russia has suffered a staggering 1,550,910 troop losses since its invasion of Ukraine began on February 24, 2022. This figure includes 1,420 Russian casualties reported in the past day alone. The losses extend beyond personnel, with Russia also losing 12,406 tanks, 25,515 armored combat vehicles, 160,946 vehicles and fuel tanks, 51,000 artillery systems, 2,201 multiple launch rocket systems, 1,699 air defense systems, 443 aircraft, 356 helicopters, 2,917 unmanned ground vehicles, 35 ships and boats, and two submarines.

While Ukraine has not disclosed its own casualties due to operational secrecy, independent Western estimates suggest that Russia's losses significantly outweigh Ukraine's, with the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) estimating the ratio at approximately 2.5:1 or 2:1.
