What this category counts

Personnel losses is one of the 14 categories the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine publishes every morning in its report on enemy losses. As of 25 October 2026, day 1705 of the full-scale war, the running total stands at 1,578,450; it grew by +1,850 in the last day.

Personnel are the Russian servicemen the General Staff reports as "eliminated": the report does not split killed from wounded, and prisoners are not included. It is the largest category of the report and the main measure of attrition: the daily increase is read as the intensity of fighting along the whole front.

The figure is cumulative: each report adds the losses confirmed over the previous day to the total since 24 February 2022, and later corrections by the General Staff replace earlier values. StatsWar fetches the report automatically through russianwarship.rip and derives monthly and weekly losses as differences of the running totals, so days missing from the reports are not lost. For the pre-war comparison we use 900,000 units in active service according to IISS, The Military Balance 2022: losses are already 1.8 times that figure.

The trend in words

Over the last 30 days the average pace was 1,763 per day.

In September 2026 losses reached 45,770, more than in August 2026 (42,050).

If the pace holds, the total will reach about 2,232,399 by the end of October 2027.
