In total, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in February 2022, Russia has lost more than 722 thousand soldiers killed and wounded.

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.
