Ukraine Says Russian Casualties Have Eclipsed 1 Million

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine says Russia’s military losses have topped 1 million, noting the huge price Moscow has paid for its 3-year-old invasion. The claim by the General Staff of the Ukrainian armed forces is in line with Western intelligence estimates. The U.K. Defense Ministry said in a statement on X that Russian troops have suffered more than 1 million casualties, including roughly 250,000 killed since the start of the war. Russia last reported its military casualties early in the war when it acknowledged about 6,000 soldiers had been killed. Earlier this year, the Russian General Staff claimed Ukrainian military losses had topped 1 million. The mutual claims of the other side’s losses couldn’t be independently verified.
