## Summary

Ukraine’s General Staff says Russia has suffered 1,601,830 troop losses since its full-scale invasion began on 24 February 2022. The reported total, which includes 2,440 casualties over the past day, underscores the scale of losses in the war, though Ukraine does not publish a comparable full tally of its own.

The Ukrainian report also lists losses of 12,456 tanks, 25,651 armoured combat vehicles, 51,956 artillery systems, 452 aircraft and 356 helicopters, among other equipment. Ukraine’s General Staff called October 2026 the deadliest month for Russian combat losses so far. A January 2026 CSIS estimate put Ukrainian casualties at 500,000 to 600,000 through December 2025, and assessed Russian casualties as roughly two to two-and-a-half times higher; these figures are estimates, and retrieving fallen Ukrainian soldiers’ bodies for identification has been difficult.
