UK Intelligence: Russia Faces Record Military Losses in 2025
UK Defence Intelligence reports that Russian casualties in the Ukraine war continue to rise, with approximately 160,000 personnel lost in the first four months of 2025 alone. This brings total estimated losses to around 950,000 dead and wounded since the invasion began. While April 2025 losses were lower than the peak rates of late 2024, they remain significant, making 2025 the costliest year of the conflict so far in terms of Russian personnel. Despite these heavy losses, Russia has not achieved substantial territorial gains in Ukraine.
