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 is keeping quiet about its own casualties in the “special military operation,” as the war is called in Russian official 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, around 770 Russian soldiers have been killed or seriously wounded in the past 24 hours.
