→ Russian War Losses Pass One Million ∞

Russia has now suffered over one million military casualties in its war against Ukraine, according to data released by Ukraine’s General Staff on June 12 and confirmed by the UK Ministry of Defence. The figure includes killed and wounded personnel since the full-scale invasion began in February 2022 and reflects the catastrophic cost of the Kremlin’s aggression.

The pace of losses is accelerating. In the first five months of 2025 alone, Russia has sustained over 200,000 casualties—more than 1,200 per day. The toll for 2024 surpassed 430,000. These numbers reflect the Kremlin’s preferred tactic: mass frontal assaults against entrenched Ukrainian positions, from the Donetsk front to Vovchansk. Moscow is throwing bodies at the problem—because it has nothing else.
