What is the impact of Russia's estimated 796,490 military personnel losses in the war against Ukraine between February 2022 and January 2025?

The former head of the “Donetsk People's Republic” Pavel Gubarev insists that “war till victory” is an insane idea for Russia, which counts 300 men killed every day (plus the wounded).

According to Gubarev, his buddies in the military say that there are more than 700,000 personnel losses of the Russian army.

“3 years of an exhausting war, to which we weren’t prepared. Colossal losses. Our army is rusting. Soldiers are losing skills. Soldiers are losing motivation. But going forward, fighting till the end, is a bad idea,” Gubarev says.

“Every day, hundreds of KIA. We can’t fight like this. We shouldn’t fight like this!” he exclaims.

• 300 KIA daily is 110,000 per year.
• Russia’s daily losses (killed and wounded) in 2024 exceeded the losses of 2022 and 2023 combined.

The current count of personnel losses, as per Ukraine’s ministry of defence, stands at 804,930.

In the last weeks, fighting seems to have intensified, as the number of personnel losses sharply went up.

Meanwhile, the head of the supervisory board of the Moscow Institute of Demography Yuri Krupnov stated that mortality among men aged 25 to 45 in Russia is 5-6 times higher than in Europe.

In the national enclave of Buryatia, after the start of the full-scale Russian invasion, mortality of men aged 18 to 45 increased by 70%, and for men under 30 — by 270% (3.7 times).

Russia was already dying.
Putin is killing it faster.
