The Ukrainian General Staff reports that Russia has lost approximately 1,249,380 troops since the full-scale invasion began on February 24, 2022.
The General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces revealed that since the onset of Russia's full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, Russia has sustained substantial military losses. The total number of troops lost is reported to be around 1,249,380, which represents a staggering casualty rate over the course of the conflict. Just in the last day alone, the Russian forces have reportedly lost 820 troops, indicative of the ongoing and intense fighting in several regions of Ukraine.
In addition to troop casualties, the report details extensive material losses for Russian forces. This includes the destruction of significant military equipment, with figures highlighting the loss of 11,661 tanks, 24,020 armored fighting vehicles, and over 37,000 artillery systems. The losses in equipment underscore the scale and duration of the conflict, as logistic and supply lines continue to be pressured by Ukrainian defensive operations and counteroffensives.
This data, while part of the ongoing assessments provided by Ukraine's military, serves not only to inform domestic and international audiences about the humanitarian and strategic toll of the war but also to bolster morale among Ukrainian forces and the civilian population. As the war continues, understanding the losses incurred by the aggressor may shape future military strategies and international responses to the conflict.
