The Ukrainian military command presented official statistics regarding the losses suffered by the Russian army from the beginning of the full-scale invasion until mid-2025. The documented data reveals an unprecedented scale of destruction and human casualties.

According to current operational information, the Russian armed forces have lost more than 400 thousand military personnel, which represents an extremely high percentage of their initial personnel. These losses include killed, wounded, captured, and missing military personnel.

Technical damages are also extremely serious. The Russian army has lost over 8 thousand tanks, which exceeds all expectations for such a military conflict. Additionally, around 10 thousand armored combat vehicles and more than 5 thousand artillery systems have been destroyed.

The air component of Russian forces has also suffered significant damage. Losses of over 500 aircraft and 1000 helicopters have been documented, which seriously undermines the Russian army's air capacity in the conflict.

Military analysts define these losses as extremely high, exceeding initial forecasts. The statistics show not only quantitative but also qualitative losses of military personnel and equipment.

The Ukrainian military leadership emphasizes that these data are the result of an effective defensive strategy and high morale of Ukrainian troops. Each loss represents a direct result of resistance against occupation forces.

International military experts define these losses as unprecedented for modern military conflicts, which seriously calls into question the military strategy and capabilities of the Russian army.

The documented data continue to be the subject of independent analyses and confirmations by international military organizations and strategic research institutes.
