Ukraine's General Staff reported on July 12 that Russia has lost approximately 1,419,090 troops in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion began on February 24, 2022. This figure includes 1,320 casualties reported over the preceding 24-hour period. The report also detailed significant losses in military hardware, including 12,120 tanks, 24,928 armored combat vehicles, and 437 aircraft.

Independent Western analyses, such as those from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), suggest that Russian casualties substantially exceed those of Ukraine. A CSIS report from January 2026 estimated Ukraine's total casualties between February 2022 and December 2025 to be between 500,000 and 600,000, with an estimated 100,000 to 140,000 killed in action. The same report indicated a casualty ratio favoring Ukraine at approximately 2.5:1 or 2:1.
