Casualties in Ukraine war could hit 2 million, report warns
By Kamila Hrabchuk, The Associated PressJan 28, 2026, 11:57 PM
A new report warns that the number of soldiers killed, injured or missing on both sides of Russia’s war on Ukraine could hit 2 million by the spring, with Russia suffering the largest number of troop deaths recorded for any major power in any conflict since World War II.
Tuesday’s report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies came less than a month before the fourth anniversary of Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24.
As the war grinds through another bitterly cold winter, Russian strikes hit an apartment block Wednesday on the outskirts of Kyiv, killing two people. Nine others were injured in attacks in the Ukrainian cities of Odesa and Kryvyi Rih and the front-line Zaporizhzhia region.
The CSIS report said Russia suffered 1.2 million casualties, including up to 325,000 troop deaths, between February 2022 and December 2025.
“Despite claims of battlefield momentum in Ukraine, the data shows that Russia is paying an extraordinary price for minimal gains and is in decline as a major power,” the report said. “No major power has suffered anywhere near these numbers of casualties or fatalities in any war since World War II.”
It estimated that Ukraine, with its smaller army and population, had suffered between 500,000 to 600,000 military casualties, including up to 140,000 deaths.
Neither Moscow nor Kyiv gives timely data on military losses, and each side seeks to amplify the other side’s casualties.
Commenting on the report, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday that the research could not be considered “reliable information” and that only Russia’s Ministry of Defense was authorized to provide information on military losses.
The ministry’s last statement on battlefield deaths was in September 2022, when it said that just under 6,000 Russian soldiers had been killed. It has not released any updated figures since then.
There was no immediate comment from the Ukrainian government.
In an interview with NBC in February 2025, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that more than 46,000 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed since the war began.
The report estimated that at current rates, combined Russian and Ukrainian casualties may be as high as 1.8 million and could reach 2 million by spring.
The figures from the CSIS were compiled using the Washington, D.C.-based think tank’s own analysis, data published by independent Russian news site Mediazona with the BBC, estimates by the British government and interviews with state officials.

On the contrary, the U.S is far from home
Iran has home advantage, can the U.S attack Iran, sure...
But they won't or even can't conduct a ground invasion because of the amount of forces needed and risk of being hit by Iran's missiles
So Iran can indeed grind out a victory, even under immense attack
Ukraine and Russia are neighbours, their is no home advantage and Russia can indeed take Ukrainian territory
All Ukraine is doing is destroying it's future and youth

Britain chose not to surrender to Hitler and ended up winning the war with Hitler putting a bullet into his brain. Why would Iran give up? The US has no chance of invading Iran.

The Russians destroyed a mockup? Congrats.
Meanwhile Ukraine drones destroyed 12 Russian aircraft, 3 helicopters far behind the front, worth 1 billion USD in total.

The US will not invade Iran.
Trump will most likely implement the strategy of bombing everything to ashes as they always do and the Russians always do when meeting fierce resistance.
