Russia is suffering enormous losses in the Ukraine war. Ukraine is releasing current data. The numbers are devastating.
Kyiv – The Ukraine War continues to claim many victims – on both sides, including among the civilian population. Reporting their own losses Russia and the Ukraine rarely. They are a military secret.
At the beginning of June, the Russian President also responded Wladimir Putin evaded a question about Russian losses in the Ukraine war. He did not give any concrete data, but pointed out that the number of deaths on the Russian side was significantly lower than that of the Ukrainian armed forces. The ratio was 1 to 5, said Putin.
Losses in the Ukraine war are enormous – more than half a million victims for Russia
The Ukrainian side, however, stresses that significantly more Russian soldiers than its own have died in the Ukraine war so far and that the losses are therefore significantly higher. In February, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky the number of soldiers killed in their own ranks was given as 31,000. Ukraine now estimates the number of Russian soldiers killed and injured at more than half a million.
These figures come from the Ukrainian General Staff, which publishes new data on Russia’s losses every day. However, these figures cannot be independently verified.
