General Staff: Russia has lost 1,275,980 troops in Ukraine since Feb. 24, 2022

Ukraine's General Staff reported that Russia has lost approximately 1,275,980 military personnel since the invasion began on February 24, 2022.

The Ukrainian General Staff announced on March 11 that Russia has incurred substantial casualties in its ongoing war against Ukraine, estimating the loss of around 1,275,980 troops since the large-scale invasion began on February 24, 2022. This figure includes 990 casualties reported just in the last day, indicating high and ongoing losses for Russian forces on the battlefield. In addition to personnel losses, the report outlines extensive losses in military equipment, including over 11,000 tanks and nearly 25,000 armored combat vehicles, alongside significant numbers of artillery and air defense systems.

While the Ukrainian military has deliberately chosen not to disclose its own casualty figures for operational security reasons, President Volodymyr Zelensky has previously acknowledged that at least 55,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died since the onset of full-scale conflict. The absence of comprehensive statistics from Ukraine not only underscores the challenges of maintaining military secrecy but also highlights the heavy toll of war on both sides. The ongoing conflict prominently features the use of drones, which has intensified, contributing further to both sides' losses.

Amidst these staggering figures related to troop and equipment losses, the data serves to emphasize the war's unprecedented scale and the severe impact it has had on military capabilities and morale. As the conflict continues, these figures are expected to evolve constantly, reiterating the dire circumstances of the ongoing war that has drastically transformed the geopolitical landscape in Eastern Europe.
