Key Casualty Estimates (as of Jan/Feb 2026) from Wiki:
  • Russian Military: Reports indicate around 1.2 million total casualties (killed and wounded), with fatal casualties estimated between 275,000 and 325,000. Some estimates suggest over 200,000+ combat fatalities.
  • Ukrainian Military: Estimates suggest 500,000 to 600,000 total casualties (killed, wounded, and missing), with 100,000 to 140,000 fatalities.
