Despite growing pessimism in the West and Russia’s ongoing summer offensive, Ukraine has not lost the war. -While Russia possesses a manpower advantage, its battlefield performance has been poor, marked by staggering casualties approaching one million (killed and wounded) and massive equipment losses for minimal territorial gains since early 2024.

Nearly 1 million Russian soldiers have been killed or injured in the country’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, according to a new study, a grisly measure of the human cost of Russian President’s Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked three-year assault on its neighbor.

Russia will likely surpass 1 million casualties in its war on Ukraine this summer, according to one of the world’s leading think tanks.
