Russia's losses in war against Ukraine

Russia conceals the losses of its troops in the war of aggression against Ukraine. According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, over 413,000 Russian occupants have been eliminated since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

UK intelligence believes that in 2023, Russian losses increased. It will probably take Moscow up to 10 years to rebuild a professional army.

According to the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, Russia is recruiting Syrians for the war against Ukraine, and they are issued passports under an expedited procedure. Travel agencies are involved in the recruitment scheme.
