The Russian army lost another 740 soldiers and dozens of pieces of equipment during the war against Ukraine.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports this.
The Russians also lost three tanks, 40 artillery systems, six armored combat vehicles, an air defense system, 1 851 operational-tactical-level UAVs, 26 cruise missiles, 194 units of automobiles, and one unit of special equipment.
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.
