Russia's Ukraine war losses exceed 1.49M troops, Kyiv reports

Ukraine's General Staff reports Russian military casualties in Ukraine have surpassed 1.49 million, with 1,440 additional losses in the past day. The figure is unverified and likely inflated for propaganda purposes, but it reflects the sustained attritional nature of the conflict. The continued high casualty rate underscores the prolonged stalemate and its implications for Russian force sustainability.
