More than two million Russian and Ukrainian troops have been killed or wounded in the four years that Russia has been waging war against its neighbor, according to a new study, a bleak milestone as Russia’s assault grinds on.
The study, published on Wednesday by the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, said Russia has borne the heavier toll, with 1.4 million troops killed or wounded since February 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine.
Of that total, 450,000 were killed, a number that is four times greater than U.S. fatalities in all wars combined since World War II.
Ukrainian forces have suffered 525,000 to 625,000 casualties, including 125,000 to 150,000 deaths, the study said.
Officials cautioned that casualty figures have been difficult to estimate throughout the war because Moscow is believed to routinely undercount its war dead and injured, and Ukraine does not disclose its official figures. The study relied on casualty figures from American and British government estimates, among other sources.
But the figures are a grim accounting of Russia’s slow progress in Ukraine, with Russian troops proceeding in some places at fewer than 165 feet a day. In February, Ukraine gained more ground than it lost for the first month since 2023 as it went on the offensive in the south, the analysts said.

China told both sides to knock it off today in the UN.
This is INSANE.
Absolutely insane. The banner raised on the radio mast in NYC is correct.
Thank heavens for China then, they’re not the only ones wishing this to end.
So much for Russia’s two week war.
That’s weak war.
This should boldly underscore why it’s so important to keep Iran from getting nukes.
The only reason this Uke/Russia war has gone so far is because Russia has nukes and no one dares to confront them.
What did the banner say?
This 3 week war is even longer than the 2 weeks it took to flatten the curve.
I look at anything from the NYTs with considerable skepticism.
Why doesn’t Ukraine come to the table then? Are they waiting to hit their quota on how much they can embezzle from the billions given to their corrupt country for their defense?
More proof that you’re woefully uninformed.
Meanwhile, Russia is destroying all gas stations east of the Dniepner, over 250 in the past two days…..a little payback for the Ukies attacks on Russian energy facilities.
At this rate, all of Ukraine’s gas stations will be destroyed in another two days….
I didn’t say anything incorrect.
You BorisBots just have trouble accepting the harsh truth.
Enjoy Russia’s ongoing degradation. We sure are!
It’s always been surprising that Iran didn’t just buy or steal a nuke from Pakistan. Pakistan has always been the “kooks with nukes” we worry about, but they’re also sympathetic to Iran.

The Pakistanis know about their neighbors.
Canadian fake media is even worse than our fake media.
What did that sound like?
"Hey, Russia: Stop invading peaceful sovereign nations! And you, Ukraine! Stop... Defending yourself???"Regards,
