Putin's reckless invasion of Ukraine since February 24, 2022, has claimed an staggering 950,860 Russian soldiers, as per the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces' latest update on April 29.
This alarming figure includes a daily loss of 1,060 troops for the Russian forces.
According to the report, the devastation doesn't stop at human casualties. Russia has also bid farewell to 10,728 tanks, 22,352 armored fighting vehicles, 46,432 vehicles and fuel tanks, 27,080 artillery systems, 1,373 multiple launch rocket systems, 1,146 air defense systems, 370 airplanes, 335 helicopters, 34,177 drones, 28 ships and boats, and even a submarine.
It's essential to understand that these figures come largely from the Ukrainian government, open-source intelligence, and independent verification efforts. Here's a closer look:
Ukraine’s General Staff approximates the destruction of 10,728 tanks, 22,352 armored vehicles, and 27,080 artillery systems as of April 29, 2025. These numbers often reflect daily increments, highlighting the bleak landscape of the battlefield.
However, it's important to note that groups like Oryx, which meticulously document visually confirmed losses, report lower totals than Ukrainian claims. The limitations of relying on photo and video evidence (which may undercount due to battlefield obscurity) lead to this discrepancy.
Moreover, Ukrainian sources state a staggering 34,177 destroyed Russian UAVs, while equipment like multiple launch rocket systems (1,373) and aircraft (370) seem to comply more with observable frontline dynamics.
With such a massive conflict, accuracy can be challenging. Factors like propaganda incentives (Ukraine may overstate losses for morale boost or maintain Western military aid credibility), operational secrecy (troop transfers, repaired equipment, and concealed wreckage make for hidden losses), and the scale of the conflict itself (especially in contested areas like Donbas) add to these complexities.
Despite the flaws in this system, it provides a valuable—albeit imperfect—measure of the devastation wrought by this invasion. To achieve a balanced analysis, it's crucial to cross-reference these reports with OSINT and Western intelligence assessments.
