It’s 100% Russian disinformation. The Ukrainians have never come close to that amount of serviceman much less casualties. If the Ukrainians had anywhere near that amount they would have been overrun long ago.
CSIS estimates Ukrainian casualties at 400K and that’s an accurate number.
Time for you to face reality
Dude thinks the Ukrainians have 1.7M dead, yet the frontline has been a stalemate for the last 3 years
. Absolutely no one but the most hardcore Russian sycophants believe that number.
That’d put Ukrainian wounded in the millions.
It may be Russian disinformation, but it could be a way to arrive at a credible figure for Ukrainian casualties that isn't 400,000.
Do you have any idea how many Ukrainians have already been mobilized?
The total number of Ukrainians mobilized was:
250,000 (regular armed forces at the start of the war)
125,000 (national guard)
75,000 (armed and border police)
600,000 (mobilized, with priority given to experienced volunteers, other volunteers, and reservists who did not volunteer on their own)
300,000 (mobilized in 2024 – most inexperienced and did not volunteer)
60,000 (estimated volunteers in 2025 – this total has been 10,000 to 12,000 per month since last October)
1,410,000 mobilized military personnel.
An update to `Killed in action', according to the website ualosses.org with names, birth and death dates, and region.
There are 153,751 casualties, as of August 7. There is usually a delay in reporting. of deaths. This does not include foreign fighters. It may also not include some units of the Territorial Army or National Guard, which were not part of the regular army, or soldiers
who came from districts now under Russian control.
There is a separate category of "missing in action" (usually presumed dead). This number is around 70,000. It is reduced when a missing person is declared dead. To be included on the "missing" list, the unit must confirm that the soldier did not desert.
Assuming 153,751 dead + 70,000 missing presumed dead, there would be two seriously wounded for every man killed. This results in 447,500 seriously wounded and unfit for combat.
This is consistent with a figure of 120,000 amputations of Ukrainian soldiers (a norm of 1 amputation for every 4 seriously wounded).
Additionally, 67,000 deserters under Article 408 Assuming that half of those under Article 407 actually deserted, we get another 88,656 deserters. There are also about 10,000 Ukrainians taken prisoner.
The total number of irrecoverable casualties is therefore 836,907.
In terms of body exchanges, since December 24, 10,744 bodies of dead Ukrainians have been exchanged for 281 Russians. While an advancing side (Russia) will recover more bodies than a retreating side, this is an indicator of the loss ratio. By 2024, this ratio was approximately 5 Ukrainian bodies to 1. Russian.
The total for the last two years is 6,881 Ukrainian bodies to 1,374 Russian bodies. The difference between the red and blue lines shows how the number The number of Ukrainian bodies has increased in the last year, which corresponds to Russian estimates of Ukrainian medical losses. The Russian body swap figures for the last year are 6,122 Ukrainians for 505 Russians.
Are you really naive enough to believe that Russians have a casualty rate twice as high as Ukrainians?
What evidence does CSIS base this estimate on? There is no basis whatsoever to claim this data.
