Russia has now lost 400,000 troops in Ukraine: Grim milestone for Putin as Kyiv reveals landmark number of deaths… as Moscow continues to send thousands more to war

Daily Mail  

Russia has lost more than 400,000 soldiers to death or injury in its continuing war against Ukraine, according to Kyiv's approximations. The figure, released by Ukraine's Ministry of Defence in its daily update this morning, suggests a staggering number of Russian casualties in the two years since Vladimir Putin launched the invasion on February 24, 2022.

Ukraine's Minister of Defence also reported that between February 24 2022 and February 16 2024, Russia has lost approximately 6,465 tanks, 12,129 armoured combat vehicles, 9,641 artillery units, and 984 multiple launch rocket systems.
