Russia has lost around 1,348,790 troops in Ukraine since the beginning of its full-scale invasion on Feb. 24, 2022, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported on May 17.
The number includes 1,170 casualties that Russian forces suffered over the past day.
According to the report, Russia has also lost 11,938 tanks, 24,578 armored combat vehicles, 97,118 vehicles and fuel tanks, 42,215 artillery systems, 1,790 multiple launch rocket systems, 1,384 air defense systems, 436 aircraft, 352 helicopters, 295,454 drones, 1,410 unmanned ground vehicles, 4,628 cruise missiles, 33 ships and boats, two submarines.
Ukraine's General Staff has not revealed its own losses during the full-scale invasion, citing operational secrecy.
Independent Western think-tank reports agree that the Russian casualties significantly surpass Ukraine's losses, with the D.C.-based Center for Strategic and International Studies estimating the ratio to be "roughly 2.5:1 or 2:1."
A January 2026 CSIS report said Ukraine has 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 be killed in action (KIA).
