Kiev publishes daily figures on Russia's losses in the Ukraine war - an overview of the current data.
Kiev – Ukraine has been defending itself against a Russian invasion for almost two years.
The war in Ukraine is claiming a dramatic number of victims – on both sides, including among the civilian population.
The Kremlin is keeping quiet about its own casualties in the “special military operation,” as the war is called in official Russian language.
The General Staff of the Ukrainian Defense Forces, on the other hand, publishes daily figures on Russia's losses.
However, this information cannot usually be verified independently.

According to the Ukrainian authorities, 950 Russian soldiers were killed or seriously wounded in the past 24 hours.
The number of victims since the start of the invasion now stands at 399,090.

In December 2023, the US secret service put the number of soldiers killed or seriously injured in the war at around 315,000.
This was reported from parliamentary circles in Washington, citing released documents from the services.
The number corresponds to 87 percent of the total number of Russian armed forces before the war.
