Russia Reports 1,358,950 Troop Losses in Ukraine Since 2022; Daily Casualties and Equipment Losses Confirmed by Ukrainian Media

Russian military sources, as reported by Kyiv Independent, state that over 1.35 million troops have been lost in Ukraine since the invasion began. The figure includes both combat deaths and wounded personnel. Ukrinform, the Ukrainian state news agency, reports that in the past 24 hours alone, Russia suffered 1,000 troop casualties and the loss of 39 artillery systems. The two sources diverge significantly: Kyiv Independent provides a cumulative figure since the start of the war, while Ukrinform focuses on daily losses. The discrepancy underscores the difficulty of verifying casualty numbers in an ongoing conflict. The reported losses suggest a severe strain on Russia's military resources and morale.
