Over the past day, on October 4, the Russian army lost another 1,280 soldiers killed and wounded, as well as military equipment.

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

The defense forces destroyed another eight Russian tanks, 31 armored fighting vehicles, 72 artillery systems, four rocket salvo systems, five air defense systems, 35 operational-tactical drones, 85 vehicles and 11 units of special equipment.

The total estimated losses of the Russians since the beginning 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 announced the number of dead Ukrainian soldiers — 31,000. He did not name the number of wounded and missing.
