The UK believed that approximately 450,000 Russian troopshave been either killed or wounded in Ukraine, not including mercenaries and “tens of thousands” who have deserted.
As reported by the UK Defence Journal, the figure was provided by Leo Docherty, British Minister of State (Minister for the Armed Forces) in the Ministry of Defence, in response to an inquiry by lawmaker John Healey.
“We estimate that approximately 450,000 Russian military personnel have been killed or wounded, and tens of thousands more have already deserted since the start of the conflict. The number of personnel killed serving in Russian private military companies (PMCs) is not clear,” said Docherty.
Kyiv’s official estimate of Russian troops’ casualties stands at 466,150 at the time of publication.
Docherty also provided the estimations of Russian equipment lost during its invasion of Ukraine, which is much more conservative compared to Kyiv’s estimation.
“We also estimate that over 10,000 Russian armored vehicles, including nearly 3,000 main battle tanks, 109 fixed-wing aircraft, 136 helicopters, 346 unmanned aerial vehicles, 23 naval vessels of all classes, and over 1,500 artillery systems of all types have been destroyed, abandoned, or captured by Ukraine since the start of the conflict,” he added.
Neither Ukraine nor Russia provides official numbers on personnel and equipment loss during the war.

It's seemingly impossible to un-brainwash a weak mind. Its like they have limited slots to store information and if those are first filled with some psychopaths falsehoods, there is little that can be done to rehabilitate. I have not direct contact with russian....I have no idea how they can think the way they think. That it is somehow just to steal from and murder your peace seeking neighbour.
I do have some direct experience with putinrumpers though. They would totally storm the White House if he filed their head with lies......oh wait...thats right he did...and they did. Try to have a rational conversation with anyone in putnirumps MRGA cult.....sigh.
Kyivpost tallies russian casualties as of today at 466,150. One could consider those deceased, 100% rehabilitated and recycled for more useful purpose. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Ukraine has received also puma drones that are strong enough to destroy military equipment like tanks and armored vehicles...
Is Ukraine still operating them and what about Himars?
Are those elite brigades like Azov equipped with hand held anti -aircraft missiles and anti-tank missiles ?
Are you still detonating the ammunition storage warehouses for the opponents behind the frontlines ...Give us favorable news...
Arsenal scored 1 goal against Manchester Utd. - would that type of information be useful to anyone? Nobody’s curious how many goals Manchester scored? I mean, come on guys
@Depau, frankly Manchester Utd sucks….
@Depau, Sure...listen to the mighty keyboard warrior talk all tough. If you were a real man, why are you not going to the front to fight for Ukraine?
Oh wait...its sounds just as stupid when I say that out of context to you, as when you say it to me (about 4 times in the past month?). So I take my pointless insult back. Please forgive me troll 'Depau'.
....Proceed with your MRGA dribble from the comfort of your couch.....
