Russia's War Casualties Surpass 1.28 Million as 890 More Troops Reported Killed in a Day.
Overall Russian Military Losses
According to TSN.ua: On March 24, 2026, Ukraine's General Staff reported the elimination of 890 Russian soldiers in the previous 24 hours. Since the start of the full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, total Russian combat losses have reached 1,289,840 personnel as of March 24, 2026. These figures highlight the sustained intensity of frontline fighting, where Russian occupation forces, despite deploying substantial reserves, have failed to achieve their objectives.
Equipment and Armament Losses
Russia's overall losses include a vast amount of military hardware and weaponry. The tally comprises:
- 11,800 tanks
- 24,271 armored fighting vehicles
- 38,695 artillery systems
- 1,696 multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS)
- 1,336 air defense systems
- 435 aircraft
- 350 helicopters
- 193,892 unmanned aerial vehicles (drones)
- 84,955 vehicles and fuel tankers
- 4,098 units of special equipment
Between March 17 and 20, 2026, Russian occupation forces escalated the pace of their offensive operations. However, as noted by Oleksandr Syrskyi,
“Despite colossal pressure and the commitment of significant reserves on several strategic axes, the enemy failed to complete its tasks and suffered heavy personnel losses.”This data underscores the ongoing difficult situation at the front and the severe toll on Russian forces.
The frontline remains tense as Ukrainian armed forces continue to hold their positions against Russian occupation troops. The elimination of substantial numbers of Russian personnel and equipment reflects the high level of combat activity and confirms Ukraine's strategy of actively countering aggression. With constant pressure and significant enemy losses, future frontline actions could profoundly shape the conflict's trajectory and the strategies of both sides.
