Loss figures are subject to revision

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine regularly updates information on Russian troop losses in the war against Ukraine. The figures provided are estimates by the Ukrainian command. They should not be considered independently verified statistics: it is difficult to verify the exact number of losses during combat operations.

 

The General Staff notes that the data is being refined. The figures may change as new information comes in from the front lines. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported this in a Facebook post.

On the night of October 25, Russian troops attacked Ukraine with 153 strike drones. Air defense forces shot down or neutralized 119 of them, including Shahed-type drones and other types of unmanned aerial vehicles. At the same time, strikes were recorded at 15 locations, and the downed drones and their debris were found at nine additional locations.
