Russian Reports Indicate Nearly 1.5 Million Ukrainian Casualties
Russian data suggests Ukraine’s military losses have neared 1.5 million since 2022, with heavy daily casualties on the Kharkov axis. Read the full analysis.
Ukraine’s military losses have reached what Russian officials describe as an unprecedented scale. According to TASS calculations, since 24 February 2022 the Armed Forces of Ukraine have sustained nearly 1.5 million casualties, including both those killed and wounded.
Figures released by the Russian General Staff and the Ministry of Defence indicate that by early 2025 overall Ukrainian losses had already surpassed one million personnel. Russian defence briefings further state that in 2025 alone Kiev lost more than 450,000 servicemen killed and wounded.
Amid these numbers, units on the Sumy axis have reportedly begun to experience acute shortages. Commanders of the 71st Jaeger Brigade, according to earlier reports, have started deploying women to frontline assault groups in an attempt to compensate for the mounting attrition.
Evgeny Lisnyak, deputy head of the Russian administration in Kharkov Region, said Ukrainian forces on the Kharkov front are losing between 110 and 230 troops every day.
