According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Russia has sustained a staggering 1,565,060 casualties in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion began on February 24, 2022. This figure encompasses 2,090 Russian troops killed in the past day alone. In addition to human losses, Russia has reportedly suffered significant material damage, with losses in tanks, armored vehicles, vehicles and fuel tanks, artillery systems, multiple-launch rocket systems, air defense systems, aircraft, helicopters, unmanned ground vehicles, naval vessels, and submarines.

While Ukraine has not disclosed its own casualties, independent Western analyses suggest that Russia's losses are roughly 2.5 to 2 times greater than Ukraine's.
