Ukraine's General Staff reported roughly 1,420 Russian troop losses over the past day, bringing total estimated Russian killed and wounded since the full invasion began to about 1,550,910. The same update lists equipment losses including 50 more artillery systems, six armored combat vehicles, and nearly 1,600 additional drones.

The General Staff describes this as the largest single-war loss for Russia since World War II, exceeding combined Soviet and Russian losses across all conflicts in the latter half of the 20th century and beyond. It frames the toll as 100 times Soviet losses in Afghanistan and 125 times Russia's acknowledged Chechen war losses, figures provided without independent verification in this report.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.
