According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Russia has suffered a staggering 1,622,860 troop losses in Ukraine since the invasion began on February 24, 2022. This figure includes 2,230 Russian casualties from the previous day alone. The losses extend beyond personnel, with Russia losing 12,478 tanks, 25,785 armored combat vehicles, and a significant number of vehicles, fuel tanks, artillery systems, and air defense systems.

Ukrainian officials have not disclosed their own casualties, citing operational secrecy, but independent Western estimates suggest Russia's losses vastly outnumber Ukraine's.
