Russia does not officially disclose its losses. Moscow last called the number of killed in September 2022 – then declared 5937 dead.
Kyiv also did not voice losses for a long time, stating that the data would be disclosed after the war. At the same time, on February 16, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview with NBC News that since February 2022, Ukraine lost more than 46,000 soldiers and about 380,000 in the war.
On August 1, US President Donald Trump cited data on the loss of Ukraine and Russia in a full -scale war, which Moscow has been running since February 2022. “I have just been informed that nearly 20,000 Russian soldiers were killed this month in a senseless war with Ukraine. Since the beginning of the year, Russia has lost 112.5 thousand soldiers … Ukraine, however, has also suffered. From January 1, 2025, she lost about 8,000 soldiers, and this number does not include missing missing, ”Trump wrote on TruthSocial, without specifying who gave him that data.
The Russian BBC Service, the Media Again, and a team of volunteers who calculate the losses of Russian servicemen by open sources, as of August 8, the names of 122,883 of the Russian Federation, which died on the front since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Russia in Ukraine, were established.
Journalists invariably indicate that the real loss of the Russian military is much higher – not all deaths report the media and authorities, not all military burials can be calculated by volunteers.
