Russia has lost 1,586,500 troops in Ukraine since the start of its full-scale invasion on Feb. 24, 2022, Ukraine’s General Staff said Oct. 30. The figure includes 1,590 casualties suffered by Russian forces over the previous day. The report also put Russia’s equipment losses at 12,450 tanks, 25,617 armored combat vehicles, 51,720 artillery systems, 2,246 multiple-launch rocket systems, and 452 aircraft. It cited 35 ships and boats and two submarines. Ukraine has not disclosed its own losses, citing operational secrecy.
