Defense Department estimates 80,000 Russian troops have been killed or wounded since the Kremlin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine less than six months ago according to a top Pentagon official.
“I think it’s safe to suggest that the Russians are probably taking 70 or 80,000 casualties in less than six months.”.
In July, CIA director William Burns said Russia had suffered around 60,000 casualties, including 15,000 troops killed in action.
Ukraine’s military estimates that 42,340 Russian troops have been killed in combat, nearly triple what Western officials have stated.
The estimates are that Ukraine has about 10,000-20,000 military deaths and 7,000-30,000 civilian deaths.
The new Russian casualty estimate includes Russian paramilitary and volunteer forces, such as the mercenary Wagner Group, some units of which have been redeployed from posts in Libya, Syria, and the Central African Republic to fight on the front lines in the Donbas region.
It’s fine if you want to take a side, but that typically interferes with understanding what is a complex problem that is poorly reported on by governement and mainstream sources.
I included the wikipedia tables with other estimates.
