Russia's combat losses: current data from the General Staff
Experts from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have published up-to-date operational information covering the total combat losses of the Russian army during the full-scale invasion. The report, which is part of the regular briefings, reflects the situation on the battlefield over a long period, from February 24, 2022, to August 18, 2025.
The presentation of such information by Kyiv aims to provide transparency about the price the Russian Federation is paying for its aggression against a sovereign state. The report highlights the prolonged nature of the conflict and the constant accumulation of damage that military actions inflict on the aggressor. This data is a key element of the Ukrainian side's information policy and is closely monitored by both the international community and security analysts.
"While it is extremely difficult to verify accurate data on military losses in active combat, the Ukrainian General Staff provides a detailed breakdown. The information, which is the subject of this report, is systematized in an accompanying infographic. It gives a detailed picture of the losses that the Russian army has suffered in various categories. Such information is of critical importance for understanding the scale of the events and their impact on the military potential of the aggressor country."
Regular publications from the Ukrainian military authorities also serve as a counterpoint to official Russian propaganda, which often minimizes or completely denies the losses suffered during the military operations. The publication of this data aims to reveal the true cost of the conflict, both in human lives and in destroyed military equipment. The constant flow of information from the Ukrainian command emphasizes the country's determination to defend itself, despite the ongoing aggression that is causing heavy damage to both sides.
