Background
The reporting covered the 1,723rd day of Russia’s full-scale armed aggression against Ukraine. Ukraine and Russia rarely publish official information about their wartime losses, and Russia last officially reported its losses in September 2022. In September 2026, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia had lost more than 248,000 personnel killed and wounded since the beginning of that year, about 700,000 during the full-scale war, and 1.6 million personnel overall.
