Ukraine's military says Russian forces suffered another 1,560 casualties over the past 24 hours, according to figures published Friday by the Ukrainian General Staff and reported by the state news agency Ukrinform.
The update puts cumulative Russian personnel losses since the start of Moscow's full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, at approximately 1,538,950, according to Kyiv's count. The figure spans more than three and a half years of fighting and is updated daily by Ukrainian military officials.
Independent verification not possible
As with previous daily tallies released by Ukraine's armed forces, the casualty figures could not be independently verified. Neither Ukraine nor Russia has published transparent, third-party-audited data on military losses during the war, and both sides have a strategic interest in the public narrative around the conflict's toll.
Western intelligence agencies have periodically issued their own estimates of Russian casualties, though such figures vary and are also difficult to verify precisely. Russia's Ministry of Defence rarely publishes its own personnel-loss figures and has not commented on this specific Ukrainian estimate.
Casualty reporting has become a routine feature of the war's information landscape, with each side publishing figures that serve an informational purpose domestically as well as a strategic one abroad, reinforcing morale and shaping foreign support for their respective war efforts.
The reported losses come as fighting continues along multiple sections of the front line and amid ongoing exchanges of drone and missile strikes between the two countries.
