Cifre oficiale: Rusia a pierdut aproape 1,5 milioane de soldaţi de la începutul invaziei în Ucraina
Official reports indicate that Russia has lost approximately 1.5 million soldiers since the invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022. This figure includes recent casualties and extensive losses in military equipment. Ukrainian officials have not disclosed their own losses, citing operational secrecy, but independent research suggests Russian losses significantly exceed those of Ukraine. Estimates indicate Ukraine may have suffered between 500,000 and 600,000 casualties, with a notable number of soldiers reported missing. The intensity of the conflict complicates the recovery of fallen soldiers for identification purposes.
