On September 23, the Russian army lost another 1 400 servicemen killed and wounded, as well as dozens of military equipment.

This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

According to the General Staff, the Defense Forces destroyed 16 Russian tanks, 40 armored combat vehicles, 61 artillery systems, 1 rocket salvo fire system, 3 anti-aircraft vehicles, 65 operational-tactical drones, 73 units of automobiles and tankers, and 10 units of special equipment.

The total estimated losses of the Russians since the start of the full-scale invasion, according to the General Staff, can be viewed in the infographic below.

Ukraine and Russia give almost no information about their losses in the war. Moscow officially last named the number of people killed in September 2022 — then they declared 5 937 dead. Kyiv did not do this for a long time, saying that the data would be disclosed after the war.

On February 25, 2024, for the first time since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky declared the number of dead Ukrainian soldiers — 31 000. He did not name the number of wounded and missing.
