General Staff: Russia has lost 1,606,400 troops in Ukraine since Feb. 24, 2022

Ukraine’s General Staff said Russian forces have suffered 1,606,400 troop losses since the full-scale invasion began on 24 February 2022. The reported total highlights the scale of the war, but Ukraine has not published its own overall military losses, citing operational secrecy.

The Ukrainian report includes 2,290 Russian casualties over the past day and lists losses of 12,458 tanks, 25,668 armoured vehicles and 52,044 artillery systems, among other equipment. Ukraine’s General Staff said October 2026 was the deadliest month for Russian combat losses; a January 2026 CSIS estimate put the ratio of Russian to Ukrainian casualties at roughly 2:1 to 2.5:1. President Volodymyr Zelensky said at least 55,000 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed in action, while the CSIS estimate put total Ukrainian casualties through December 2025 at 500,000 to 600,000.
