Russia-Ukraine War's Mounting Death Toll: Latest Estimates Suggest Russian Troops Have Been Hit Harder

Russian troops have lost the most lives since Russia invaded Ukraine in February, according to third parties.

British Defense Secretary George Wallace said Monday that about 15,000 Russian troops have been killed since Russia invaded Ukraine in February.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told CNN last week that about 2,500 to 3000 soldiers have been killed in Russia, which is more than Russia said it had killed.

The United Nations has recorded 2,729 deaths among Ukrainians due to the violence, mostly due to shelling and missile strikes.

According to the U.N., the figure is likely lower than the true civilian death toll, and Ukrainian officials have said thousands of more civilians have died during the invasion.
