Independent Western think-tank reports agree that Russian casualties significantly surpass Ukraine's losses. The Center for Strategic and International Studies estimated the ratio at roughly 2.5 to 1 or 2 to 1. A January 2026 CSIS report said Ukraine 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 have been killed in action.
President Volodymyr Zelensky told France TV on February 4 that at least 55,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed in action since the war began, in addition to significant numbers missing in action. The intensity of Russian drone attacks and the fighting has made it extremely difficult for Ukraine to retrieve the bodies of fallen soldiers, which are needed for DNA confirmation.
