The other day, the Institute for the Study of War voiced an assessment that the Russian military cannot sustain the current level of losses in the war against Ukraine indefinitely, especially for limited successes.
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.
On February 25, 2024, for the first time since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky announced the number of dead Ukrainian soldiers: 31 thousand. At the same time, Zelenskyi said that he cannot disclose how many Ukrainian soldiers are wounded and missing. Also, according to his data, Russia’s losses amounted to 180,000 servicemen killed, and up to 500,000 wounded and dead.
British intelligence said on September 17 that Russian losses since the beginning of the invasion were estimated at more than 610,000 people killed and wounded.
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 the data published by The Wall Street Journal about Ukraine’s losses in the war, says that the real figure is “much lower.”
