Western officials estimate that some 350,000 Russians have been killed or badly injured and 70,000 Ukrainians have died with 120,000 seriously wounded since February 2022. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense and independent observers note substantial Russian losses, but exact figures are hard to verify. Meduza's analysis suggests that 75k Russian combatants have been killed by late 2023, with a likely figure of 83,000 by the war's two-year mark. Reports from the Ukrainian general staff indicate significant daily losses for Russia, including +810 men, +8 tanks, +16 APVs, +29 artillery systems, +22 UAVs, +2 cruise missiles on one day, and +880 men, +13 tanks, +37 APVs, +12 artillery systems, +1 MLRS, +2 AD systems, +26 UAVs, +3 cruise missiles on another. The Economist notes that by January 2024, Russian military deaths had doubled since April 2023, surpassing total Russian military deaths in all wars since 1945.

“Zelensky’s tally could not be independently verified. It differs sharply from estimates by U.S. officials, who, this past summer, put the losses much higher, saying that close to 70,000 Ukrainians had been killed and 100,000 to 120,000 had been wounded.” https://t.co/rVJu85uAft
