Ukraine’s General Staff says Russia has suffered more than 1 million troops killed and wounded since February 24, 2022.
Ukraine’s military claims it has disabled, destroyed or burned more than 11,000 tanks and over 23,000 armored fighting vehicles.
Ukrainian officials say Russian commanders are disregarding mounting personnel losses.
Russian forces have run out of infantry in certain sectors, and even communications specialists and cooks are sometimes being sent into assaults, according to the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine’s Defense Ministry.
The agency says Russian losses are especially high on the Hulyaipole axis. Russian commanders have ordered attacks by the wounded and the sick, alongside communications troops, cooks, drivers and drone operators - effectively anyone available - according to what Ukrainian intelligence says it learned from radio intercepts.
Ukraine’s General Staff reports that from February 24, 2022, through September 12, 2025, Russia has lost more than 1 million personnel killed and wounded in Ukraine. Over the same period, Ukrainian forces say they have disabled, destroyed or burned more than 11,000 tanks, over 23,000 armored fighting vehicles and more than 32,000 artillery systems, and shot down 422 aircraft and 341 helicopters; they also say they have sunk 28 ships and boats.
The fiercest fighting is currently around Pokrovsk, where Russia is attempting to encircle and capture the city, Ukrainian officials say. Battles there have raged for months, and Russia has concentrated a force of more than 110,000 troops in the area, according to Ukraine.
Ukraine says Russia modified its battlefield tactics this summer, attempting to send small infantry groups through Ukrainian lines and then mass forces behind them to launch assaults - an approach it says is being used near Pokrovsk.
