Buzzline

The Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Oleksandr Syrskyi, disclosed that Russia's military has suffered losses exceeding 141,500 personnel since the start of 2026, with over 83,000 reported dead. Independent analyses by Mediazona and Meduza, released on May 9, suggest that around 352,000 Russian soldiers have perished since the large-scale invasion commenced in February 2022. Syrskyi notes that Russia's overall losses are approximately three and a half times greater than those of Ukraine. These alarming figures arise even as Russia persists in its recruitment efforts, with volunteers now representing the largest segment of casualties, following a significant drop in prison recruitment.
