General Staff: Russia has lost 1,586,500 troops in Ukraine since Feb. 24, 2022
Since the start of the full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, Russia has reportedly lost 1,586,500 troops in Ukraine, according to Ukraine's General Staff. This figure includes 1,590 casualties from the previous day. Additionally, Russia has lost significant military equipment, including 12,450 tanks and 25,617 armored vehicles. While Ukraine has not disclosed its own losses, estimates suggest that Russian casualties are much higher than those of Ukraine, with a ratio of approximately 2.5:1. A report from CSIS estimates Ukrainian casualties between 500,000 and 600,000, with President Zelensky stating at least 55,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed. The ongoing conflict complicates the retrieval of fallen soldiers' bodies for identification.
