Ukraine Puts Russian Casualties at 1.45M Since 2022

Ukraine’s General Staff said Russian military casualties have reached approximately 1,450,510 personnel since the start of the full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022. The update also cited a high daily loss rate, with 1,390 casualties recorded over the most recent 24-hour period.

The figures are presented as an ongoing running estimate and come as the conflict continues to generate heavy personnel and equipment attrition. Officials did not provide a breakdown by category beyond the overall personnel tally.

Reported equipment losses span armor, artillery, and aviation

Alongside the personnel estimate

Alongside the personnel estimate, the General Staff listed major battlefield equipment losses attributed to Russia. The reported totals include 12,232 tanks and 25,075 armored combat vehicles, as well as 47,276 artillery systems.

The statement also included aviation losses of 439 aircraft and 354 helicopters. In addition, it reported more than 440,000 unmanned aerial vehicles among destroyed or lost assets.

Ukraine has not indicated how the equipment totals are compiled in each case, and the overall scale of claims underscores the central role of sustained firepower and drones in current operations. The equipment counts were presented as cumulative since the invasion began.

Ukraine keeps its own casualty figures secret as verification remains difficult

Ukrainian authorities continue to maintain operational secrecy around

Ukrainian authorities continue to maintain operational secrecy around Ukraine’s own casualty numbers. The source material notes that independent analysis has suggested a casualty ratio favoring Ukraine at approximately 2:1 or 2.5:1, though Ukraine has not publicly confirmed such ratios.

Separately, the source material cites estimates for Ukrainian losses through late 2025 ranging between 500,000 and 600,000 personnel, including both killed and wounded in action. Those estimates were presented as external assessments rather than official figures.

Officials and analysts have pointed to practical barriers that can limit verification, including the inability to retrieve remains from active combat zones. The source material says this has continued to complicate official casualty verification processes.

The combined personnel and equipment estimates reflect the sustained intensity of the war and the associated logistical pressures described for both sides, particularly around replacing personnel and maintaining equipment over time.
