Kiev publishes daily figures on Russian losses in the Ukraine war. An overview of the current data.
Kiev – Ukraine has been defending itself against a Russian invasion for almost two years. The war in Ukraine claims many victims – on both sides, including among the civilian population.
The Kremlin is keeping quiet about its own casualties in the “special military operation,” as the war is called in official Russian language. The General Staff of the Ukrainian Defense Forces, on the other hand, publishes daily figures on Russia’s losses. However, this information cannot usually be verified independently.
