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.
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.
