On August 8, Russia lost another 1 030 soldiers killed and wounded at the front.

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

In addition, the Defense Forces destroyed three more tanks, nine armored combat vehicles, 49 artillery systems, two air defense systems, 32 operational-tactical unmanned aerial vehicles, 86 vehicles and two special vehicles.

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 claimed 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 thousand. He did not name the number of wounded and missing.
