The General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces reported on July 15 that Russia has sustained approximately 1,423,280 troops since the full-scale invasion commenced on February 24, 2022. This figure includes 1,470 casualties reported for the preceding day.
In addition to personnel losses, the report detailed significant equipment attrition for Russian forces, including 12,141 tanks, 24,938 armored combat vehicles, 45,953 artillery systems, and 409,204 drones. Russia has also reportedly lost 120,307 vehicles and fuel tanks, 1,936 multiple launch rocket systems, 1,492 air defense systems, 437 aircraft, 353 helicopters, 1,907 ground robotic systems, 34 ships and boats, and two submarines.
Ukraine's military has not disclosed its own losses, citing operational security. However, independent Western analysis, such as a January 2026 report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), suggests that Russian casualties significantly outweigh those of Ukraine. CSIS estimated Ukraine's total casualties between February 2022 and December 2025 to be between 500,000 and 600,000, with 100,000 to 140,000 killed in action. The same report indicated a casualty ratio for Russia to Ukraine ranging from roughly 2.5:1 to 2:1.
