Ukraine's Defense Ministry has said that Russia has lost more than half a million troops since the start of the war.
Russia has lost more than half a million troops since the start of its full-scale invasion, according to Ukraine's latest figures, signaling the huge cost Vladimir Putin's war is having on his own personnel.In its latest update on Saturday, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry said that Russian forces had lost 1,140 troops the previous day—the 12th day in a row that its estimate was more than 1,000.
But the figures do offer some indication of the scale of the war's impact, deep into its third year and as Russia launches a new offensive in northeastern Ukraine.Getting an accurate count on Russian losses is tricky, and Moscow has not updated its figure since September 2022 when it said the death toll stood at 5,937, which at the time was considered by Western experts as an underestimate.
