A new study cited by multiple outlets says casualties in the Russia-Ukraine war have surpassed 2 million. The analysis estimates total Russian troop casualties—counting killed, wounded, and missing—at roughly 1.4 million since Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, with estimates placing Russian fatalities alone between about 400,000 and 450,000. The study’s overall figure indicates that when all forms of casualties and both sides’ losses are considered, the combined total rises above 2 million. The New York Times reports the study’s finding that Russia is bearing the heavier toll, with about 1.4 million Russian troops killed or wounded over the period. NDTV highlights a more granular breakdown within the Russian casualties estimate, including an estimated range for deaths. Both accounts describe the same broad casualty scale and timeframe—starting in February 2022—though they present different emphases, with one focusing on the total casualty count and the other on the breakdown of Russian losses.
