According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in October, the Defense Forces of Ukraine hit about 230 armored combat vehicles of the Russian army, more than 800 artillery systems, 29 anti-aircraft guns, and 93 tanks, which is roughly equal to the number of 3 tank battalions.
According to the data of the Ukrainian command as of November 1, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia has lost 1,142,730 of its soldiers, in particular, 900 – in the last day, October 31.
Russia does not officially disclose its losses. Moscow last reported the number of people killed in September 2022, when 5,937 people died.
Kyiv also did not announce the losses for a long time, saying that the data would be revealed after the war. However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi stated in an interview with NBC News on February 16 that since February 2022, Ukraine has lost more than 46,000 soldiers dead and about 380,000 wounded in the war.
On August 1, US President Donald Trump cited data on the losses of Ukraine and Russia in the full-scale war that Moscow has been waging since February 2022. “I was just informed that almost 20,000 Russian soldiers died this month in the senseless war with Ukraine. Since the beginning of the year, Russia has lost 112,500 soldiers… Ukraine, however, has also suffered greatly. It has lost approximately 8,000 soldiers since January 1, 2025, and that number does not include the missing,” Trump wrote on his own TruthSocial network, without specifying who provided him with the data.
