Kiev publishes daily data on alleged Russian losses in the Ukraine war.
An overview of the current figures.
Kiev – Ukraine has been defending itself against a Russian invasion for more than 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, around 1,150 Russian soldiers have died or been seriously wounded in the past 24 hours.
The number of victims since the beginning of the invasion is 413,760. An overview of the developments over the last few days:

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.
