Russia has lost around 1,260,500 troops in Ukraine since the beginning of its full-scale invasion on Feb. 24, 2022, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported on Feb. 23.
The number includes 720 casualties that Russian forces suffered over the past day.
According to the report, Russia has lost 11,696 tanks, 24,082 armored combat vehicles, 79,636 vehicles and fuel tanks, 37,510 artillery systems, 1,654 multiple launch rocket systems, 1,304 air defense systems, 435 aircraft, 348 helicopters, 143,878 operational-tactical drones, 29 ships and boats, and two submarines.
Ukraine's General Staff has not revealed its own losses during the full-scale invasion, citing operational secrecy.
While Ukrainian officials rarely disclose figures, President Volodymyr Zelensky told France TV on Feb. 4 that at least 55,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed in action since the beginning of the full-scale war, in addition to many more classified as missing in action (MIA).
The intensity of Russian drones and fighting has made it difficult for Ukraine to retrieve the bodies of fallen soldiers, which are needed for DNA confirmation.
Independent Western think-tank reports agree that the Russian casualties significantly surpass Ukraine’s losses, with the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) estimating the ratio to be "roughly 2.5:1 or 2:1."
