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.

Any other sources on that, cause the U.S. is reporting ~620,000 total casualties since the start of the war. Having trouble believing 2024 was twice as bad as 2023 and 2022 combined.

Yes yes, and Russia shot down double the Ukrainian air force in the first six months. Casualty reporting is hard in the moment.
