From February 24, 2022, to May 18, 2026, the total combat losses of Russian personnel in Ukraine reached approximately 1,350,010, as officially reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1336100075369734&set=a.229159252730494&locale=ru_RU. This staggering figure includes 1,220 soldiers neutralized in just the last 24 hours, highlighting the ongoing intensity of the conflict.

The destruction of Russian military hardware is equally unprecedented. The enemy has lost 11,939 tanks and 24,583 armored combat vehicles. The loss of 42,262 artillery systems indicates a highly effective counter-battery campaign by the Ukrainian Defense Forces. Furthermore, the systematic depletion of Russia’s aerial and naval capabilities continues, with 436 aircraft, 353 helicopters, and 33 vessels—including two submarines—now accounted for as destroyed or incapacitated.

Technological warfare remains a decisive factor in this conflict. The report highlights the destruction of 297,057 operational-tactical UAVs, underscoring the massive scale of drone engagements. Additionally, 1,415 ground-based robotic complexes have been neutralized. These numbers reflect the high degree of innovation and tactical agility exhibited by Ukrainian forces in adapting to the realities of modern warfare.

Beyond front-line combat, the logistic strain on the Russian military is evident. With 97,338 units of automotive equipment destroyed, the Russian army faces severe supply chain challenges. Additionally, the destruction of 4,628 cruise missiles and 1,792 multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS) significantly limits the enemy’s ability to conduct long-range strikes against civilian infrastructure. The total count also includes 1,386 air defense systems and 4,200 units of specialized equipment.

These updated figures from the General Staff serve as a stark reminder of the immense toll Russia is paying for its war of aggression. Despite the enemy’s attempts to overwhelm Ukrainian positions, the steadfast resistance of the UAF continues to degrade the operational potential of the Russian forces. Every piece of destroyed equipment and every neutralized soldier brings the conclusion of this war closer. The Ukrainian military remains committed to defending its sovereignty and continues to push back against the invader on all fronts, maintaining pressure until the aggressor is fully repelled.
