Russia has lost 1,307,540 troops in Ukraine since the beginning of its full-scale invasion on 24 Feb 2022, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported on 9 April.
The number includes 1,040 casualties that Russian forces suffered over the past day.
Russia has also lost 11,847 tanks, 24,370 armored combat vehicles, 88,332 vehicles and fuel tanks, 39,689 artillery systems, 1,724 multiple launch rocket systems, 1,341 air defense systems, 435 aircraft, 350 helicopters, 227,539 drones, 33 ships and boats, and two submarines.
Ukraine's General Staff does not reveal its own losses during the full-scale invasion, citing operational secrecy.
While Ukrainian officials rarely disclose figures, President Volodymyr Zelensky said at least 55,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been KIA since the beginning of the full-scale war, in addition to many more classified as MIA.
The intensity of Russian drones and fighting has made it difficult for Ukraine to retrieve the bodies of fallen soldiers, which are needed for DNA confirmation.
Vladimir Putin's "Special Military Operation" against Ukraine is longer than the USSR participation in the Great Patriotic War (22 June 1941 to 9 May 1945).
- not my cup of tea
Mine neither; my opinion was adults make their own choices, and I'm no one's judge. BUT... right after college when I came home one night to a couple of guys getting it on on the living room floor of the house I shared with a good friend and his sister... that was too much for me, and I was like, "WTF!".
The sister was really mad at me; they were her friends, but it was TX, ffs... and not even the 80's yet!
