Russia and Ukraine give almost no information about their losses in the war. Moscow officially last named the number of people killed in September 2022 – then 5,937 people died. Kyiv did not do this for a long time, saying that the data would be disclosed after the war.
The head of the Pentagon said on December 7 that Russia lost at least 700,000 soldiers during the large-scale war against Ukraine and spent more than 200 billion dollars on it.
The total losses of the military of Russia and Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale war of the Russian Federation in 2022 could exceed one million – such an estimate was given by the newspaper The Wall Street Journal on September 17. The WSJ estimated the number of Ukrainian soldiers killed at 80,000, Russian at approximately 200,000. About 400,000 people in the Ukrainian army and 400,000 in the Russian army were wounded, the newspaper writes.
Kyiv, commenting on data published by The Wall Street Journal about Ukraine’s losses in the war, says that the real figure is “much lower.”
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on December 8 that since the beginning of the full-scale war, Ukraine has lost 43,000 soldiers killed and 370,000 wounded.
According to his data, the losses of the Russian Federation exceed 750,000 – 198,000 dead and more than 550,000 wounded.
