On December 19, Russia lost 2 200 soldiers killed and wounded, as well as dozens of pieces of military equipment.

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

The Ukrainian military destroyed eight more tanks, 24 armored combat vehicles, 42 artillery systems, one air defense system, 79 operational-tactical drones, 115 vehicles and six special equipment.

Ukraine and Russia have been largely silent on their war casualties. Moscow last officially announced the death toll in September 2022, when it said 5 937 people had died.

At the same time, the BBC Russian service, together with Mediazona, at the end of November 2024, established the names of 80 973 Russian servicemen who died during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Ukraine last officially updated its loss data on December 8 of this year — President Volodymyr Zelensky said that 43 000 soldiers were killed and another 370 000 were wounded.
