A number of claims and counterclaims are being made on the Ukraine-Russia conflict on the ground and online. While GlobalSecurity.org takes utmost care to accurately report this news story, we cannot independently verify the authenticity of all statements, photos and videos.
On 24 February 2022, Ukraine was suddenly and deliberately attacked by land, naval and air forces of Russia, igniting the largest European war since the Great Patriotic War. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a "special military operation" (SVO - spetsialnaya voennaya operatsiya) in Ukraine in response to the appeal of the leaders of the "Donbass republics" for help. That attack is a blatant violation of the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. Putin stressed that Moscow's goal is the demilitarization and denazification of the country. The military buildup in preceeding months makes it obvious that the unprovoked and dastardly Russian attack was deliberately planned long in advance. During the intervening time, the Russian government had deliberately sought to deceive the world by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.
"To initiate a war of aggression... is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole." [Judgment of the International Military Tribunal]
The UK Ministry of Defence reported that January 2025 was likely the second most costly month of the war for Russia with a total of 48,240 casualties (killed and wounded) reported by the Ukraine General Staff. 48,670 Russian casualties were recorded in December 2024, the most costly month of the war for Russia so far.
Russia has likely sustained over 50,000 casualties in 2025 thus far, and over 837,000 casualties since invading Ukraine in February 2022.
January 2025 also saw the second highest average daily Russian casualties in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, with an average daily loss rate of 1,556, according to Ukrainian General Staff reporting.
