General Staff: Russia has lost 1,465,810 troops in Ukraine since Feb. 24, 2022

Russia has lost around 1,465,810 troops in Ukraine since the Feb. 24, 2022 invasion began, Ukraine’s General Staff reported on Aug. 14. The tally includes 1,370 casualties suffered by Russian forces over the previous day. Ukraine’s report also lists large equipment losses, including 12,269 tanks, 25,144 armored combat vehicles, 47,932 artillery systems, and 34 ships and boats, plus two submarines. The General Staff has not disclosed Ukraine’s own losses, citing operational secrecy. Independent Western think tanks broadly align on higher Russian casualties, with CSIS estimating a ratio roughly “2.5:1 or 2:1,” and in January 2026 suggesting 500,000–600,000 Ukrainian casualties since 2022.
