1,290 Russian Invaders Eliminated in 24 Hours: Fresh Toll on Moscow’s Forces.

Heavy Blow to Russian Troops

According to UATV: On July 5, 2026, Ukraine’s General Staff reported a devastating day for the Russian military. Ukrainian defenders killed 1,290 Russian soldiers, destroyed 7 tanks, 63 artillery systems, and one air defense unit over a single day. These numbers underscore the intensity of ongoing combat and the effectiveness of Ukraine’s armed forces against the aggressor.

Since the full-scale invasion began on February 24, 2022, through July 5, 2026, total Russian casualties have reached roughly 1,409,630 personnel. Beyond human losses, Moscow’s army has suffered massive equipment destruction. The tally since the conflict’s start includes:

• 12,081 tanks
• 24,878 armored combat vehicles
• 45,388 artillery systems
• 1,916 multiple rocket launchers
• 1,470 air defense systems
• 436 aircraft
• 353 helicopters

Additional combat losses cover:

• 1,821 ground robotic complexes
• 390,738 unmanned aerial vehicles
• 4,847 cruise missiles
• 33 ships and boats
• 2 submarines
• 116,106 motor vehicles
• 4,385 pieces of special equipment

Notably, hostilities have knocked out 42.74% of Russia’s total designed oil refining capacity.

These figures highlight the war’s duration and the severe toll on Russian forces—both in lives and hardware. Such heavy losses could hamper Moscow’s ability to sustain offensive operations and may reshape regional security dynamics, especially as international allies continue weighing their support for Ukraine.

'Ukraine’s armed forces keep proving their capacity to push back against aggression.'

This underscores why sustained backing from the global community remains critical in this fight.
