Russia has lost 421,000 troops in Ukraine in 2024, the “highest price since the start of the invasion,” Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said in a Telegram post on Dec. 28.
The figure includes both dead and wounded and is part of the total losses of approximately 785,000 Russian troops since the beginning of the invasion in February 2022.
They estimated 1/4 of NKs are casualties and roughly 12k NKs. So 3k casualties is a lot, it isn’t much of this number.
