General Staff: Russia has lost 1,578,450 troops in Ukraine since Feb. 24, 2022

Since the start of the full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, Russia has reportedly lost 1,578,450 troops in Ukraine, according to Ukraine's General Staff. This figure includes 1,850 casualties from the previous day. Additionally, Russia has lost significant military equipment, including over 12,000 tanks and 25,000 armored vehicles. In contrast, Ukraine has not disclosed its own casualty figures, but estimates suggest that Russian losses are considerably higher than those of Ukraine, with a ratio of approximately 2.5:1. A CSIS report estimates Ukrainian casualties between 500,000 and 600,000, with President Zelensky acknowledging at least 55,000 soldiers killed. The ongoing conflict complicates the retrieval of fallen soldiers' bodies for identification.
