Russian casualties have topped the 1 million mark in President Vladimir Putin’s war against Ukraine, according to Kyiv’s general staff.
Moscow’s military losses since invading Ukraine in February 2022 reached 1,000,340 troops as of Thursday, The Economic Times reported.
Although not independently verified, the numbers align broadly with separate estimates by the U.S.-based Center for Strategic and International Studies and by British defense officials.
The British government in April put Russia’s likely total casualty count in the war at 920,000.
“The Russians are likely to hit the 1 million casualty mark later this spring or early summer of 2025,” Seth G. Jones, director of the CSIS Defense and Security Department, said late last month on a organization podcast. “It’s an incredible number… with a high of 250,000 that have died.
“To put those numbers into perspective, Russia has suffered, according to our calculations, five times as many fatalities in Ukraine than in all Russian and Soviet wars combined between World War II and February 2022.”
