On November 16, Russia lost 1 640 servicemen killed and wounded, as well as dozens of units of military equipment.

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

The Defense Forces of Ukraine destroyed 12 tanks, 27 armored combat vehicles, 36 artillery systems, 60 operational-tactical level drones, 85 vehicles and two units of special equipment.

In total, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in February 2022, Russia has lost more than 720 thousand soldiers killed and wounded.

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.
