With high casualty figures and the slow pace of Russia’s territorial gains, President Vladimir V. Putin could face years more of a grinding war of attrition in Ukraine.

Nearly 1 million Russian soldiers have been killed or injured in the country’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, according to a new study, a grisly measure of the human cost of Russian President’s Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked three-year assault on its neighbor.

Russia suffered approximately 995,030 casualties in Ukraine between February 24, 2022 and June 7, 2025, with 1,120 soldiers killed or wounded in the past 24 hours. — Ukrinform.
