General Staff: Russians lost over 700 soldiers and three tanks at the front

In the war against Ukraine, the Russians lost 750 soldiers, three tanks, and dozens of pieces of equipment.

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

The Russians were also left without ten armored combat vehicles, 70 artillery systems, two multiple launch rocket systems, four air defense systems. 2 224 operational-tactical UAVs, one boat, and 188 units of automotive equipment and tanker trucks were also destroyed.

Ukraine and Russia rarely publish official figures on their war casualties. The last time Russia officially reported this was in September 2022, when it said 5 937 people had died.

Ukraine updated its statistics on February 4, 2026, when President Volodymyr Zelensky said 55 000 Ukrainian soldiers had died. But there are also a large number of people who are considered missing.

Regarding Russiaʼs losses, Zelensky stated that as of February 4, 2026, Russia had lost almost 350 000 soldiers killed, another 50-70 000 were considered missing, and 600-700 000 were wounded.

As of the end of November 2025, the BBC and the Russian media outlet Mediazona had collected the names of 152 142 Russian servicemen who died. Of these, 67% were from rural areas and cities with a population of up to 100 000 people. Less than half of Russiaʼs population lives in such settlements.
