The number of Russian casualties in the Ukraine war has burst through the one million barrier, according to the latest UK intelligence.An update posted on Tuesday by the Ministry of Defence revealed that Moscow has seen approximately 1,118,000 of its troops killed or injured since Vladimir Putin launched his invasion in February 2022.Russia has suffered around 332,000 casualties in 2025 so far, the MoD said, while the daily casualty also increased from 931 to 950 between August and September.“Russia’s casualty rate in October 2025 has been steadily increasing, surpassing 1,000 daily casualties every day from October 5 through to October 12,” the intelligence update said.The grim statistics are a blow for Putin and demonstrate the human toll Russia has suffered since the war began more than three years ago.Nevertheless, the MoD said “Russian forces have maintained a high operational tempo across the frontline”, allowing it to make “incremental territorial gains” in Ukraine.Latest Defence Intelligence update on the situation in Ukraine - 14 October 2025.Find out more about Defence Intelligence's use of language: https://t.co/tcIwDmTysn#StandWithUkrainepic.twitter.com/w6NOlo1Nq5— Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧 (@DefenceHQ) October 14, 2025Related...Putin Ally Makes Nuclear Threat After Donald Trump Hints US Could Give Ukraine Tomahawk MissilesTrump Blasts Russia And Says Ukraine Can Win The War In Astonishing U-TurnTrump Says Ukraine War Was 'Supposed To Be Quick Little Skirmish'
