The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports that Russia has lost over 1.25 million troops in the conflict since February 2022.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has released a striking report detailing significant Russian military losses since the start of the full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022. According to the report, as of February 15, 2026, Russia's troop losses have reached approximately 1,253,270, with around 1,250 of those casualties occurring over the past day alone. These figures illustrate the devastating toll the war continues to exact on Russian forces, highlighting the ongoing intensity and ferocity of the conflict in Ukraine.

In addition to personnel losses, the report underscored substantial material losses on the Russian side. It noted that Russia has suffered the destruction of a staggering number of military assets, including 11,672 tanks and over 24,000 armored combat vehicles, among other critical equipment. Specifically, the document mentions that Russian forces have lost a total of 78,485 vehicles and fuel tanks, as well as thousands of artillery systems and drones, which presents a concerning picture of how the conflict has depleted the Russian military's operational capabilities.

These statistics reflect not just the immediate military situation but also the broader implications for the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. They indicate that the Kremlin's strategy may be encountering severe challenges as attrition takes a toll on its forces. As Ukraine continues to defend its sovereignty, these losses may influence future operational decisions and international responses, shaping the landscape of the conflict moving forward.
