The toll in war is enormous: Ukraine and Russia are recording horrendous losses. At least 10,000 civilians, including more than 570 children, have lost their lives in Ukraine.

US intelligence estimates that at least 315,000 soldiers have been killed or injured on the Russian side. The exact number of casualties in the Ukraine war can only be estimated. The Russian side has repeatedly claimed that the Western estimates of the deaths are greatly exaggerated. The only thing that is certain is that false numbers are also given.
