General Staff: Russia has lost 1,370,890 troops in Ukraine since Feb. 24, 2022

Ukraine’s General Staff reported on June 5 that Russia has suffered 1,370,890 troop losses since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine began on February 24, 2022. The figure includes 1,550 casualties recorded over the previous 24 hours, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine’s official statement. The report also detailed Russia’s military losses, including 11,980 tanks, 24,684 armored combat vehicles, 103,300 fuel tankers and vehicles, 43,315 artillery systems, and 436 aircraft. Additional losses comprise 353 helicopters, 329,772 drones, and 33 warships and boats, alongside two submarines. Ukraine’s General Staff did not disclose its own casualties, citing operational secrecy. However, Western estimates suggest a stark disparity in losses. The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) estimated in January 2024 that Ukraine’s total casualties from February 2022 to December 2025 would likely range between 500,000 and 600,000, with 100,000 to 140,000 killed in action. The CSIS report also noted that Russian losses far exceed those of Ukraine, with a ratio of roughly 2.5:1 or 2:1. The figures underscore the prolonged and devastating impact of the war on Russia’s military capabilities, particularly in terms of personnel and equipment. The General Staff’s latest update follows ongoing reports of Russia’s struggles to sustain its offensive operations amid heavy attrition. The data was published on the General Staff’s official Facebook page, reinforcing Ukraine’s transparency in documenting Russian military setbacks.
