According to The Economist, between 60,000 and 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers have lost their lives in the ongoing full-scale war.

According to estimates from The Economist published on November 26, between 60,000 and 100,000 Ukrainian military personnel have died in the full-scale Russian war, with an additional 400,000 unable to continue service due to severe injuries.

Ukraine typically avoids disclosing the total number of its military losses, and President Volodymyr Zelensky only acknowledged in February that 31,000 Ukrainian fighters had been killed, the publication reports.

Based on its calculations from leaks or published intelligence reports, defense officials, researchers, and open-source information, The Economist states that both Russia and Ukraine have lost a greater proportion of their populations than the United States did during the Korean and Vietnam Wars combined.

Nearly one in every 20 Ukrainian men of conscription age has been killed or injured due to the war, according to The Economist.

In September, The Wall Street Journal provided similar estimates, claiming that Ukraine had lost 80,000 soldiers killed and 400,000 wounded. The publication estimated Russian losses at 200,000 killed and 400,000 wounded.

It is nearly impossible to determine exact figures for both sides, as Kyiv and Moscow conceal their losses. The latest figure from Russian authorities is 5,937 military deaths as of September 2022.

In turn, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine estimated total Russian losses as of November 27 to exceed 735,000. Russia's losses in the full-scale war are considered greater than in all wars combined since 1945.

According to The Economist, civilian casualties are even harder to determine, but they likely reach many tens of thousands.

The UN mission in Ukraine confirmed that as of the summer of this year, 11,743 civilians had been killed, but this number is likely higher due to Russia's prohibition of access to observers in occupied territories, particularly in areas with the highest civilian casualties, including Mariupol.
