Ukraine's military estimated that Russian forces lost 1,520 personnel over the past 24 hours, putting Moscow's total combat losses since the start of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine at approximately 1,537,390, according to figures reported by the state news agency Ukrinform.
The figures, attributed to Ukraine's General Staff, cover the period from February 24, 2022, when Russia launched its full-scale invasion, through October 2, 2026. Ukrainian authorities have published daily casualty estimates for Russian forces throughout the war, though these figures are compiled by Ukraine's own military and have not been independently verified by neutral third parties.
Russia has not published comparable, regular public estimates of its own losses in the conflict, and Moscow has in the past disputed Ukrainian casualty figures as inflated. Independent verification of battlefield casualty totals from either side remains difficult given the nature of the ongoing conflict.
The reported losses come as fighting continues along multiple fronts in eastern and southern Ukraine, with both sides having sustained significant casualties over more than four years of full-scale war.
