Russia has lost around 1,384,190 troops in Ukraine since the beginning of its full-scale invasion on Feb. 24, 2022, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported on June 15.

The number includes 1,320 casualties that Russian forces suffered over the past day.

According to the report, Russia has also lost 12,025 tanks, 24,763 armored combat vehicles, 107,091 vehicles and fuel tanks, 44,082 artillery systems, 1,870 multiple launch rocket systems, 1,420 air defense systems, 436 aircraft, 353 helicopters, 351,479 drones, 1,664 unmanned ground vehicles, 33 ships and boats, and two submarines.

Ukraine's General Staff has not revealed its own losses during the war, citing operational secrecy.

Independent Western think-tank reports agree that the Russian casualties significantly surpass Ukraine's losses, with the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) estimating the ratio to be "roughly 2.5:1 or 2:1."

A January 2026 CSIS report said Ukraine has likely suffered between 500,000 and 600,000 casualties from February 2022 to December 2025, of which between 100,000 and 140,000 are thought to be killed in action (KIA).
