Attack On Europe: Documenting Russian Equipment Losses During The 2022 Russian Invasion Of Ukraine (2 year anniversary)
ORYX ^ | Since February 24, 2022 and daily | ORYX

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When a vehicle is captured and then lost in service with its new owners, it is only added as a loss of the original operator to avoid double listings. When the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it's not included in the list. The Soviet flag is used when the equipment in question was produced prior to 1991. This list is constantly updated as additional footage becomes available.

It will be a difficult fight - not only because Russian troops are battle tested and the Chinese are not, but because of the weather - the Yakutia region average temperature is around 37 deg, and the schools don’t close in winter until the tempo hits minus 67 degrees.

Previous battles around the Amur region where inconclusive, with each side scoring victories and defeats.

“The Russian Satan missile, officially known as the R-36 or SS-18 Satan


Its fuel was made in Ukraine and vanished after the invasion. Its successor, RS-28 Sarmat, has yet to have a successful launch.

Kyiv Independent (20 Sept):

“Ukraine’s General Staff said that it had struck two oil refineries overnight on Sept. 20 in Russia’s Saratov and Samara oblasts, confirming earlier reports on social media from Russian residents.

The General Staff also added in its announcement that it had damaged the main transport infrastructure facility in Samara. It said that explosions and fires had been recorded, while the final results of these strikes are still being determined.

“All affected facilities are involved in supplying the Russian Armed Forces,” the General Staff wrote.”

It is not just Russian demography, where deaths exceed births - it is Russian businesses as well. Because Putin.

Kyiv Independent (20 Sep):

“Amid Russia’s dwindling economic prospect, the number of registered businesses operating in in the country has fallen to lows not seen since 2010, Ukraine’s foreign intelligence service (SZRU) announced.

According a news release issued on Sept. 19 by the SZRU, Russia has shed approximately 486,000 business since 2022, leaving the country with 3.17 million business enterprises operating across the country, as of Sept. 1, 2025.

The total marks a significant drop from post-invasion levels, when Russia has approximately 3.29 million operating in 2023...

...The SZRU said that businesses in the trade, construction, and industrial industries closed most often since the start of full-scale war, adding that under current levels, 1.5 times more businesses are shuttering operations than entering the market.”

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, September 20, 2025

Kremlin insider statements continue to indicate that Russian President Vladimir Putin remains committed to his strategy that Russian forces will be able to win a war of attrition against Ukraine and the West and that the West has thus far failed to convince Putin to reevaluate his strategy. Bloomberg reported on September 20 that undisclosed people close to the Kremlin stated that Putin has concluded that military escalation is the best way for Russia to force Ukraine into peace negotiations on Putin's terms.[1] The sources stated that Putin assesses that US President Donald Trump is unlikely to “do much” to bolster Ukraine's defense and that the US-Russian talks in Alaska on August 15, 2025, convinced Putin that Trump has no interest in intervening in the war in Ukraine. The sources stated that Putin intends to remain engaged in any ongoing bilateral dialogue with the United States but will continue to act in what he perceives to be Russia's interest. The sources stated that Putin intends to continue targeting Ukraine's energy network and other critical infrastructure. Putin's long-standing theory of victory posits that Russia can militarily defeat Ukraine by indefinitely maintaining the theater-wide initiative and outlasting Western military support for Ukraine.[2] The sources’ statements indicate that recent US efforts to mediate a peaceful resolution to the war in Ukraine have not impacted Putin's calculus and that Putin remains committed to defeating Ukraine militarily, as ISW has continued to assess. Putin's recent actions — including the decision to redeploy more forces to Donetsk Oblast and recent Russian incursions into the airspace of NATO member states — further underscore his commitment to both continued military aggression against Ukraine and future military aggression against NATO member states.[3]

Putin may have allowed these Kremlin sources to share his logic with Bloomberg and likely seeks to leverage Bloomberg‘s article to exploit friction between European and US officials, to feed into the wider Russian narrative that a Russian victory in Ukraine is inevitable, and to create fear in Ukrainian society ahead of Winter 2025-2026. The Kremlin maintains a tight grip on the Russian information space and holds significant influence over most Russian officials and insiders, which suggests that Putin may have orchestrated or at least approved of sources in the Kremlin leaking information to a Western publication.[4] The Kremlin sources’ emphasis on the Trump Administration's reported failure to influence Putin's decision making is likely an attempt to seize on friction between US and European officials and to sow further discord between Western allies. The Kremlin has long sought to divide Ukraine's US and European supporters in order to weaken cohesive Western support for Ukraine and has intensified this campaign since Trump's inauguration in January 2025.[5]

Putin likely also intends for this article to feed into the Kremlin's long-running narrative that a Russian victory in Ukraine is inevitable and that Putin can bring about a Russian victory in Ukraine seemingly by will alone. The Kremlin sources’ emphasis on Putin's commitment to a military victory in Ukraine ignores the Russian military's systemic shortcomings and limitations that have thus far denied Putin's ability to achieve Russia's strategic objectives of politically controlling all of Ukraine, or decisively winning on the battlefield. ISW has repeatedly observed instances of Putin tasking the Russian military with goals far beyond its capabilities, and it is unclear whether Putin is receiving inaccurate information about Russian military capabilities or whether Putin is choosing to ignore Russia's limitations and push on with grinding offensives to further Russian narratives about Russia's ability to wage war indefinitely, no matter the costs.[6] ISW continues to assess that a Russian military victory in Ukraine is not inevitable, however, and that Ukraine, the United States, and European states maintain agency over the outcome of the war in Ukraine.[7]

Putin likely also intends for this article to generate panic in Ukraine about Russia's long-range strike campaign ahead of Winter 2025-2026. The Kremlin sources’ reference to continued Russian strikes against Ukraine's energy infrastructure is almost certainly intended to invoke the memory of Russia's Fall 2022 and Winter 2022-2023 strike campaign against Ukraine's energy grid and the subsequent power outages that affected Ukraine, particularly civilians.[8] The Kremlin is likely resurfacing this memory in order to create fear amongst Ukrainians and to provoke Ukrainians into demanding that the Ukrainian government negotiate a settlement to the war before Winter 2025-2026. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned in August 2025 that Russia was increasingly targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure in order to undermine Ukraine's preparations for the winter heating season.[9] Putin is likely hoping to seize on the uncertainty that recent large-scale long-range Russian strikes have caused in Ukraine in order to exacerbate domestic discontent and increase pressure on the Ukrainian government to end the war.

Russian forces conducted one of the largest drone and missile strikes against Ukraine in recent weeks on the night of September 19 to 20. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russian forces launched 8 Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles from Yeysk, Krasnodar Krai; 32 Kh-101 cruise missiles from Saratov Oblast; and 579 Shahed and decoy drones from the directions of Kursk, Bryansk, and Oryol cities; Millerovo, Rostov Oblast; Shatalovo, Smolensk Oblast; and Primorsko-Akhtarsk, Krasnodar Krai.[10] The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Ukrainian forces downed 2 Iskander-M/KN-32 ballistic missiles and 29 Kh-101 cruise missiles. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Ukrainian air defenses downed 552 drones. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that an unspecified number of ballistic and cruise missiles and 23 drones struck ten locations and that drone fragments fell in ten locations. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russian forces conducted a simultaneous strike on targets with large numbers of missiles and drones and that Ukrainian forces used tactical aviation, including F-16s, to intercept the cruise missiles. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Russian forces targeted Dnipro City and Dnipropetrovsk Oblast broadly and locations in Mykolaiv, Chernihiv, Zaporizhia, Poltavka, Kyiv, Odesa, Sumy, and Kharkiv Oblasts.[11] Zelensky stated that Russian forces directly struck a high-rise residential building in Dnipro City with a missile equipped with cluster munitions.[12] Footage reportedly shows a Kh-101 cruise missile striking the residential building in Dnipro City, underscoring the need to further bolster Ukraine's air defense umbrella.[13] Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Military Administration Head Serhiy Lysak reported that the strike killed one and injured 13 civilians.[14] The Ukrainian Prosecutor General's Office reported that Russian strikes in Khmelnytskyi Oblast killed one and injured three civilians.[15] Other Ukrainian officials reported that Russian forces damaged civilian infrastructure in Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Odesa, and Sumy oblasts.[16]

Russia is intensifying its efforts to test NATO's defensive capabilities and resolve by violating NATO members’ safety zones in the air domain. Polish Border Guards reported on September 19 that two Russian fighter jets performed a low altitude pass over the Polish Lotos Petrobaltic oil and gas drilling platform in the Baltic Sea in direct violation of the platform's safety zone.[17] The Polish state-owned energy company Orlen Petrobaltic owns and operates the Petrobaltic platform and is Poland's only offshore oil platform.[18] Polish Border Guard Spokesperson Katerzyna Przybysz stated, and open-source naval vessel tracking sites indicate, that the Petrobaltic drilling platform is in Poland's exclusive economic zone.[19] It remains unclear whether the Russian jet incursion near the Petrobaltic platform occurred during the September 19 sortie in which three Russian MiG-31 interceptor jets violated Estonia's airspace or if this was a separate incident.[20] The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) claimed on September 19 that Russian aircraft did not violate Estonian airspace and that the three Russian jets completed a “scheduled flight” from Karelia airfield to an unspecified airfield in Kaliningrad Oblast in accordance with international law.[21] ISW continues to assess that Russia is deliberately testing the limits of NATO's capabilities with various air incursions in an effort to gather data on the alliance's response measures and political will that Russia may then apply to potential conflicts against NATO.[22]

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced the start of Ukraine's managed weapons exports program. Zelensky announced on September 19 that Ukraine will begin financing its defense industrial base (DIB) funding deficit partly through the managed export of certain Ukrainian weapons.[23] Zelensky stated that the Ukrainian DIB produces surpluses of certain modern weapons systems, such as naval drones and anti-tank weapons, and that Ukraine intends to export these surpluses in order to finance the production of additional drones for Ukrainian forces. Zelensky noted that supplying Ukrainian forces fighting against Russia's invasion and replenishing domestic weapons stockpiles remain the Ukrainian DIB’s top priorities. Zelensky stated that Ukraine will present three export platforms by October 4: a platform for export and economic interaction with the United States, a second platform for export and interaction with Ukraine's European partners, and a third platform for Ukraine's other international partners.

Russian commanders continue to order Russian forces to execute Ukrainian civilians and commit acts of perfidy as part of an ongoing trend of Russian commanders systematizing deliberate war crimes among Russian units. Russian servicemembers from the Russian 122nd Motorized Rifle Regiment (68th Motorized Rifle Division, 6th Combined Arms Army [CAA], Leningrad Military District [LMD]) stated on September 17 that their commanding officer ordered them to dress in civilian clothes (an act of perfidy) and execute any military-age male under 45 that Russian forces encountered in Kupyansk.[24] ISW observed geolocated footage of Russian forces in the Lyman direction wearing civilian clothing on September 16, among other reports of Russian forces committing acts of perfidy.[25] Russian soldiers have notably committed extreme atrocities against civilians and soldiers in now-liberated areas of Ukraine and occupied Ukraine, including executions of civilians.[26]

A bipartisan group of U.S. senators on Sept. 19 introduced a bill that aims to send a portion of frozen Russian assets under Washington's control to Ukraine.

The Rebuilding Economic Prosperity and Opportunity (REPO) Implementation Act 2.0 is based on previous legislation passed in April 2024, which aimed to provide assistance to Ukraine. “Given Russia's brutality against the Ukrainian people, it was only right that Russian government funds in the United States be seized and repurposed to help Ukraine rebuild its country under the REPO Act,” Republican Senator Jim Risch said. “Now, the REPO Implementation Act will encourage our allies to use the Russian assets in their countries to do the same, and ensure that the assets under U.S. control are used pragmatically,” Risch said.

The legislation seeks to transfer all of the $5 billion of frozen Russian assets held in the U.S. to an “interest-bearing account” and have U.S. President Donald Trump repurpose at least $250 million from the account every 90 days to assist Ukraine. “Repurposing Russia's frozen sovereign assets is a necessary step to ensure Ukraine has the resources to defend itself and rebuild its communities. Importantly, this approach allows us to continue supporting Ukraine without additional cost to American taxpayers. This legislation demonstrates the strong, bipartisan resolve in Congress to keep standing with Ukraine,” Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen said.

The REPO Act would also encourage the U.S. Secretary of State to work with allies to repurpose at least 5% of the assets or $15 billion to benefit Ukraine every 90 days and require reports on Russian assets held outside the U.S. About $300 billion in Russian assets are frozen, most of which are held in Europe. The EU has remained cautious over transferring the funds to Ukraine amid concerns it could disparage trust in the bloc's banking institutions.

In an effort the maintain support for Ukraine, the European Commission is considering a new plan to transfer billions of euros of frozen Russian assets to Ukraine by replacing the funds with EU-backed bonds, Politico reported on Sept. 12, citing multiple officials familiar with the matter. Meanwhile, Germany, which once opposed transferring the funds to Ukraine, has shifted its position and now supports using frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine's needs, Bloomberg reported on Sept. 17, citing undisclosed sources familiar with the matter.
