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.
On May 31, British intelligence said that, according to its calculations, the total number of Russian casualties (killed and wounded) since the start of full-scale war against Ukraine in February 2022 is likely to reach 500,000.
