"Four years into Russia's grinding war on Ukraine, Al Jazeera looks at the costs to people, territory and treasuries. It's Europe's biggest war since World War II. It's also Russia's deadliest war since that conflict. And it has reshaped the global economy with Moscow facing the most sanctions that any country has ever encountered. As Russia's war on Ukraine completes four years on February 24, Al Jazeera takes stock of what has been lost the people, territory and the money spent."
"Russia's war in Ukraine is estimated to have caused roughly two million military casualties in all. Ukraine's General Staff estimated that some 418,000 Russian troops were killed or wounded last year, bringing total Russian casualties for the war to just over 1.25 million. The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) last month agreed, estimating that Russia had suffered 1.2 million casualties, including at least 325,000 deaths, from the beginning of the full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022 until December 2025."
Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine has entered its fourth year, becoming Europe's largest war since World War II and Russia's deadliest since that conflict. Casualty estimates vary widely, with combined military casualties approaching roughly two million. Independent analysis and Ukrainian and Russian figures suggest Russia suffered about 1.2–1.25 million casualties, including at least 325,000 deaths, while Ukraine endured up to 600,000 casualties with as many as 140,000 deaths and 55,000 soldier fatalities reported by Ukraine's president. The conflict has reshaped the global economy, imposed unprecedented sanctions on Moscow, and inflicted vast human, territorial, and financial costs.
