Ukraine’s General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine put Russian personnel losses since 2022 at about 1.61 million on Nov. 10, adding to a running tally that Ukraine describes as an estimate.

Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense said the cumulative figure covered Feb. 24, 2022, through Nov. 10, 2026, and assigned 2,220 Russian personnel losses to Nov. 9. The ministry cautioned that the figures remained subject to revision.

A Nov. 5 ministry update put the cumulative estimate at 1,599,390. EconoTimes previously covered Ukraine’s tally through Nov. 5.

The ministry reported 54,400 Russian military personnel losses in October and said no earlier month of the full-scale war had a higher count. It also reported an average of more than 1,750 per day that month.

The Nov. 10 release gives no breakdown between personnel killed and wounded and does not explain how the cumulative estimate was calculated. It does not identify the total as a death toll.
