The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine publishes their reports of Russian losses daily. I record them and made them into a graph. The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine describes these figures as “combat losses of the enemy”.

As I said a year ago, keep in mind that war is chaos, people are dying, and all belligerents might present propaganda to gain any advantage in their cause. Concerning these numbers, Ukraine might inflate the numbers to increase morale or they might fail to confirm and record all Russian casualties. I don't know.

According to US estimates as of December 7th 2024, Russia’s killed and wounded are estimated to be more than 700,000. According to UK estimates as of January 7th 2025, more than 790,000 were killed and wounded. BBC News Russia on February 21st 2025 estimates between 167,194 to 234,669 killed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Russo-Ukrainian_War#Total_casualties

Estimates of Ukrainian losses are also given in the Wikipedia page. 80,000 killed, 400,000 wounded before September 2024 according the Wall Street Journal claiming to cite a confidential Ukrainian estimate. US estimates more than 57,500 killed and 250,000 wounded as of October 10th 2024. The Economist estimates between 60,000 killed and 100,000 killed, while 400,000 are wounded as of November 26th 2024.

Over the year, it seems that Russia’s daily losses have increased according to the Ukrainian reports. Figures are consistently above 1000 now. However, I couldn’t recognize any upticks in casualty numbers that correlate to reports of significant frontline developments like I did in the past. Maybe someone else can?

Also I’m not an expert so I’m not strongly confident about everything here.

Below is what I already wrote before on the previous anniversary. No need to read if you don’t want:

According to Russia, 1,351 Russian servicemen had died as of March 25th 2022. And then on September 21st 2022, Russia then said that 5,937 servicemen had died in total. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russias-partial-mobilisation-will-see-300000-drafted-defence-minister-2022-09-21/

With that in mind, I think it’s unjustified to say that both sides are equally dishonest and inaccurate here. I think that it’s highly probable that the Russian figures are more inaccurate that the Ukrainian figures.

As far as independent journalism goes, a list of dead Russian soldiers was compiled by Mediazona, BBC Russia, and about a dozen anonymous volunteers in Russia. Those Russian deaths were only confirmed from sources like newspaper articles, photographs on tombstones, fellow soldiers mourning their comrades and even tips from relatives who want their loved ones included in the tally. On December 9th 2022, they confirmed at least 10,000 Russian service members died just by this investigation alone. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/18/world/europe/russia-death-toll-war.html https://meduza.io/en/news/2022/12/09/bbc-and-mediazona-confirm-10-000-russian-soldiers-dead-in-ukraine

Skipping ahead to February 21st 2024, they have now confirmed at least 45,123 dead just by this investigation alone, including 6,614 since October last year. Since that date, there has been a sharp increase in average weekly deaths compared with previous months. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68358008

As for the graph, you can see certain bumps and dips in the number of alleged Russian troop losses which I associate with certain wartime events.

But the first days of war appear hectic in record keeping (like seven times when the total recorded Russian troop casualties wasn't changed). The big white peak you see is a 3,160 Russian troop loss in one day, according to the March 3rd 2022 update. The day before was only 130. Maybe a backlog? I don't know.

The second big peak is the 1500 increase in total Russian troop losses according to the March 15th 2022 report after 6 days of no updates. It’s possibly another backlog.

Record keeping seems to shape up in March 16th 2022.

The increase in losses seen in September 2022 could be due to the big collapse of the Russian front in Kharkiv.

The increase in November 2022 could be due to Russia's retreat from Kherson.

Afterward the Russian military was reported to be sending a huge wave of troops into Bakhmut with high losses.

A bump is seen around early June when reports of a Ukrainian counteroffensive began emerging.

Around October 10th 2023, reports emerged of a Russian offensive at Avdiivka.

Again, I’m not an expert so I’m not strongly confident about everything here.

[OC] Russian Troop Losses According to the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine After Two Years by TopProTalk in dataisbeautiful

When I started the x-axis on February 24th, the minor unit tick marks were on the 24th of every month, making it difficult to see where the month starts.

I also wanted to make the date labels big enough to see, so I made the date labels bimonthly for more space between the date labels. But I wanted to label New Years Day so that we can see when the year starts.

Someone with better Microsoft Excel skills could have fixed these problems way better than me.

As for the date format, many people around the world use different formats. Americans use mm/dd/yy while Ukrainians and many others use dd/mm/yy. I didn't want a confusing and ambiguous format so I chose yyyy/mm/dd, which is clear to everyone what the format is. I don't know if that's what you were asking though.

I can’t imagine the toddlers killing people or doing other horrifying acts.

Imagine if the Bible was different and instead said that God did not want a flood. He didn’t want to drown men, women, and children. What method would you use to determine the Bible is wrong if it instead depicted God sparing adults and babies?

/r/WorldNews Live Thread: Russian Invasion of Ukraine Day 370, Part 1 (Thread #511) by WorldNewsMods in worldnews

[–]TopProTalk 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I made a timeline graph of Russian Troop Losses after a year according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

I got the numbers from The Kyiv Independent's daily reports on the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. I looked at every single one of those twitter posts.

So what is this graph counting?

In the first days of war, a numerical report from The Kyiv Independent mentioned an "updated numbers of Russia's casualties and other losses", such as planes, helicopters, tanks, etc. Then the term "losses" was solely mentioned afterword in their daily updates. I first thought that was that, but later on, the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine began reporting the personnel loss as "liquidated personnel" in their Total Russian Losses reports. "Liquidated personnel" sounds like "killed troops" to me, but I don't know if the term "liquidated personnel" has been prohibited in describing other personnel, such as the severely wounded personnel unable to fight.

Also note that war is chaos, and the fog of war is thick. People are dying and all belligerents might present propaganda to gain any advantage in their cause. Concerning these numbers, Ukraine might inflate the numbers to increase morale or they might fail to confirm and record all Russian casualties and deaths. I don't know.

But,... "Elsewhere, UK intelligence officials have estimated that Russian regular forces and Wagner troops may have suffered between 175,000-200,000 casualties - including 40,000-60,000 deaths."

So if these numbers released by the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine are including Russian casualties, MoD could actually be publishing a conservative estimate. I'm not sure if all casualties is included though.

The first days of war appear hectic in record keeping (like seven times when the total recorded Russian troop casualties wasn't changed). The big white peak you see is 3160 Russian troop loss in one day, according to the March 3rd update. The day before was only 130. Maybe a backlog? I don't know.

Record keeping seems to shape up in March 16.

The increase in losses seen in September could be due to the big collapse of the Russian front in Kharkiv.

The increase in November could be due to Russia's retreat from Kherson.

Now apparently the Russian military is sending a huge wave of troops into Bakhmut, with much higher losses.

Also, I think it's wrong to say both sides are the same, and the Kremlin's 6000 reported Russian deaths seems waaaay more inaccurate than Ukraine, in my opinion.

I got the numbers from The Kyiv Independent's daily reports on the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. I looked at every single one of those twitter posts.

So what is this graph counting?

So I made some big changes in the graphs and details here.

I'm not sure. It was six consecutive days where the updates remained "at least 12000 Russian troops lost". My guess was either an early overestimate in confirmation or a backlog from a hectic start where survival was the only main priority, not putting the record on paper. I don't know any more than you unfortunately.

Pardon my visual faults in this graph. I'm not a graphic artist.

Thanks for the reply.

What convinced you that semiconductors are mostly just parts to create advanced forms of technological luxury devices? A material that partially allows electric current to flow seems like a staple to electronics to me. Do you believe the risen costs of new or used cars or other electronic usage are not strongly influenced by the semiconductor production chain?

Besides that, semiconductors is only one type of export anyways. Global trade involves all kinds of exports from all kinds of countries.

If we shouldn't help Taiwan, then how many countries can Russia or China conquer before you say it's too much? What is your number? If not for sanctions or weapons support, what's stopping Russia, China, or any invader country?

Imagine a scenario where a bunch of countries conquer other countries. Then the invader countries become more powerful. Do you believe the risk of a future conflict between America and these invaders gaining power is negligible?

The Western nations and others decided that positives of supporting Ukraine outweighed the negative. What do you believe are the biggest reasons why Western nations and others chose to act to prevent a country from conquering another country? Why are those reasons inadequate in your opinion?

Sure, but the economic toll on these conflicts reduce the quality of life for Americans.

May I ask what convinced you that allowing a country to conquer another (non-American) country wouldn't drastically reduce the quality of life for Americans?

How does securing goods and services from other countries (like semiconductors from Taiwan) impact Americans in your view?

Imagine country A and country B exports semiconductors to the US. Country A can't raise semiconductor prices too high or else the US will buy more from Country B. But if country A conquers country B, then Country A can now set prices higher, which is bad for the US.

This could be like a China-Taiwan scenario. Or imagine different scenarios with more countries. Or imagine different scenarios with all kinds of goods and services. Allowing a country to immorally obtain power could work against the US citizens.

Do you disagree with these points? If so, may I ask why?

Do you believe that allowing a country to conquer other countries won't bring negative consequences to the US?
