Russia has not officially disclosed its military losses. The last reported figure from Moscow, dating back to September 2022, stated that 5,937 personnel had been killed.
Meanwhile, journalists from the Russian publication Mediazona, along with the BBC Russian Service and volunteer teams, have identified over 200,000 names of Russian soldiers who have died in the conflict since February 2022, based on open-source data. This list is believed to be incomplete, as information regarding the deaths of all military personnel is not always publicly available.
Estimates of total Russian losses, including both wounded and killed, from international organizations and intelligence agencies are significantly higher. In December 2025, a NATO official, speaking on condition of anonymity, informed the BBC Russian Service that the total number of Russian military casualties could approach 1.15 million.
Ukraine has also been reticent in disclosing its own casualty figures, stating that such information will be revealed post-conflict. President Volodymyr Zelensky has begun to release these figures approximately once a year. In an interview with France 2 in early February 2026, he stated that Ukraine has lost 55,000 soldiers since February 2022, while also noting a significant number of individuals classified as missing in action.
On January 13, 2025, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi reported a 13% reduction in personnel losses for the Ukrainian military in 2025, though he did not provide specific details regarding the losses.
Recent reports indicate that Russian military casualties in the Ukraine conflict have reached approximately 1.3 million, with significant losses in equipment as well. Ukraine's own casualty figures remain less frequently disclosed, though President Zelensky has provided some estimates.
