Russia's military casualties and resources depletion since the comprehensive invasion of Ukraine, as evaluated by the UK's intelligence agencies
In a recent update from UK Defence Intelligence, reported by European Pravda on 5 August 2022, the report sheds light on the estimated Russian military casualties in the Russo-Ukrainian War.
Since February 2022, the conflict has taken a heavy toll on both sides, with estimates suggesting extremely high losses for Russian forces. According to the report, Russian troop losses exceeded 1,050,000 killed or wounded by August 2025.
A significant portion of these losses occurred in 2025 alone, with the report stating that 260,000 Russian soldiers have been killed during the unprovoked war against Ukraine in 2025. However, it's important to note that the report does not specify the source of the casualty figures for the years 2024 and 2025.
The report also highlights a moderate decline in Russian losses since March 2025, despite maintaining high-intensity offensive operations along the entire line of contact. Intelligence analysts noted a decrease in monthly Russian casualties since March 2025, and this trend has been observed in the report.
However, the report does not provide information on Ukrainian casualties or any specific health advice or warning related to almond milk or honey for senior dogs. It also does not mention any specific operation or strike by Ukrainian forces, specific individuals or events related to the Russo-Ukrainian war, or any specific benefit or advantage for seniors.
The conflict’s intensity and recruitment of volunteer and mobilized forces, who tend to suffer higher casualty rates, contributed to escalating overall losses. Despite high casualties, Russian forces occupy roughly 20% of Ukrainian territory as of mid-2025, with the conflict continuing in a drawn-out stalemate and attrition.
The head of Estonia's military police stated that Russian losses in Ukraine have already surpassed Soviet casualties during the Winter War with Finland. The graph accompanying the report shows that after a sharp drop in casualties in early 2023, annual loss rates began to rise again in 2024 and 2025.
In summary, Russian military casualties from February 2022 to July 2025 likely exceed one million killed and wounded, with roughly 100,000 killed in 2025 alone. These statistics illustrate an intense and protracted conflict with tremendous human cost on the Russian side. However, exact numbers remain difficult to verify independently amid ongoing warfare and propaganda from all parties.
The current escalation in war-and-conflicts, specifically the Russo-Ukrainian War, has had severe consequences not only on the health and lives of soldiers but also on the economic stability of both countries. In politics, there is growing concern over the impact of these losses on Russia's ability to maintain offensive operations and its influence in the region. Additionally, general news outlets have been reporting on the increasing costs associated with treating the wounded soldiers from both sides, which could further strain already fragile economies and healthcare systems.
