Russia strikes Odesa port and military logistics in Ukraine

Russia's defense ministry stated it conducted overnight strikes against Ukrainian logistics, ports, and energy sites, specifically targeting a drone depot and a power station, according to Ajel English.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported on Oct. 26 that Russia has lost 1,580,440 troops since the beginning of the full-scale invasion on Feb. 24, 2022. This figure includes 1,990 casualties sustained by Russian forces over the past day. The Kyiv Independent notes that the reported Russian losses include 12,448 tanks, 449 aircraft, 356 helicopters, and 35 ships and boats, among other equipment.

While Ukraine's General Staff has not disclosed its own losses due to operational secrecy, the Kyiv Independent reports that the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) estimated a casualty ratio of roughly 2:1 or 2.5:1 in favor of Ukraine. A January 2026 CSIS report suggested Ukraine likely suffered between 500,000 and 600,000 casualties from February 2022 to December 2025.

Additionally, President Volodymyr Zelensky told France TV on Feb. 4 that at least 55,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed in action since the war began.
