Russia has lost 953,190 troops in Ukraine since the beginning of its full-scale invasion on Feb. 24, 2022, the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces reported on May 1.

The number includes 1,230 casualties that Russian forces suffered over the past day.

According to the report, Russia has also lost 10,732 tanks, 22,364 armored fighting vehicles, 46,750 vehicles and fuel tanks, 27,136 artillery systems, 1,375 multiple launch rocket systems, 1,148 air defense systems, 370 airplanes, 335 helicopters, 34,401 drones, 28 ships and boats, and one submarine.

We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.

Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?
