Kiev publishes daily figures on Russia's losses in the Ukraine war.
An overview of the current information from Ukraine.
Kiev – Ukraine has been defending itself against a Russian invasion for two years.
The war in Ukraine is claiming a dramatic number of victims – on both sides, including among the civilian population.
The Kremlin remains tight-lipped 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.
Russian Losses in the Ukraine War: An Overview
According to the Ukrainian authorities, 1,130 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 406,080.

Westliche Geheimdienste mit Einschätzungen zu russischen Verlusten im Ukraine-Krieg
Der Geheimdienst der USA hatte im Dezember 2023 die Zahl der im Krieg getöteten oder schwer verletzten Soldaten mit rund 315.000 angegeben. Dies verlautete aus Parlamentskreisen in Washington unter Berufung auf freigegebene Dokumente der Dienste. Die Zahl entspricht demnach 87 Prozent der Gesamtzahl der russischen Streitkräfte vor dem Krieg.

Ebenfalls im Dezember 2023 äußerte sich Großbritannien zu den Zahlen. Das britische Verteidigungsministerium ging zu diesem Zeitpunkt von etwa 70.000 Russen aus, die im Angriffskrieg Moskaus getötet wurden. Dabei handele es sich um 50.000 reguläre Soldaten sowie 20.000 Mitglieder der Privatarmee Wagner. Die Zahl der Verwundeten wurde in London auf 180.000 bis 240.000 Soldaten und 40.000 Wagner-Kämpfer geschätzt. (red)
