The Russian forces are nearing the 1 million casualty mark with alarming speed. If the current pace continues, the Russian military and its supporting forces will exceed 1 million casualties by the first days of June.
Russia Is Approaching One Million Casualties in Ukraine
Over the weekend, the British Ministry of Defence assessed in an intelligence report that the Russian forces have “likely incurred approximately 950,000 casualties (killed and wounded) since launching the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.”
The term “Russian forces” includes the Russian military, paramilitary units such as the Wagner Group, North Korean troops, and pro-Russian separatist rebels that are fighting alongside the Russian regular army. These rebels are mainly found in the Donetsk and Luhansk provinces and have been an integral part of the Kremlin’s claim over Ukrainian territory since the beginning of their rebellion in 2014. For the first eight years of the conflict, the Russian military directly and indirectly supported the insurrection against Kyiv; when Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, these pro-Russian separatists joined the Russian forces.
