130,150 Russians killed in Ukraine

These are the men Putin has sent to die in Ukraine: 36,568 volunteers, 18,261 recruited prisoners, 14,797 conscripts, and 2,777 mercenaries. Their names were compiled by Mediazona and the BBC from published obituaries, social media posts by relatives, and other firsthand sources. Among the known dead are 5,567 officers. The figures are for the period from February 24, 2022, to September 11 this year, so they don't include the "frozen war" from 2014 to 2022. I assume they also don't include several thousand North Korean soldiers killed in Kursk province last year, nor does Mediazona track deaths among soldiers recruited or conscripted from the Russian-occupied provinces of Ukraine.

By comparison, American losses totaled 58,220 died in our Vietnam misadventure, and 33,686 in the Korean War.

Ukraine keeps its own count of Russians casualties, which now comes to 1,093,730 killed, wounded, captured, or deserted. Of the last three categories, some or many have probably since returned to active duty.

Ukrainian losses are also substantial -- about 100,000 soldiers killed, by Western estimates, along with a civilian death toll that seems to average about five every day, for a total of 6,485 over the 1,297 days since Russia launched an all-out invasion that everyone expected would be over in a week or ten days.
