More than 400,000 Russian soldiers are estimated to have been killed or wounded in 2025, according to a British defence intelligence update on Ukraine, the Telegraph reports.
In October 2025, defense intelligence put the overall number of Russian casualties throughout the full-scale war at 1,118,000, higher than the entire size of its army before the full-scale invasion. Russia has thrown men into meat-grinder assaults to seize land in eastern Ukraine inch by inch.
