According to official figures from Kyiv, 1100 Russian soldiers lost their lives in a single day in the course of the war, as reported by The Kyiv Independent.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense states that since the beginning of the conflict in February 2022, a total of 322,900 Russian soldiers have been neutralized, meaning they were either killed or are no longer able to participate in combat. In its daily reports on Russian losses, the Ministry of Defense also stated that the enemy lost an additional 30 tanks, bringing the total number to 5496.
Furthermore, Russia is reported to have lost a total of 10,256 armored vehicles, 10,230 vehicles and fuel tanks, 7,833 artillery systems, 904 multiple rocket launcher systems, 595 air defense systems, 323 aircraft, 324 helicopters, 5,800 drones, 22 ships and boats, and one submarine.
These claims have not yet been independently verified and/or confirmed. Therefore, they should be considered with caution. In war, it can be advantageous for conflicting parties to deliberately spread false information to strengthen their own position or weaken the opponent’s.
