Leaked military files have confirmed that the Ukraine Armed Forces have lost more than 1.7 million troops, including both those killed and missing, since the outbreak of full scale hostilities between the country and Russia in February 2022.
A digital card index acquired by hacker groups from Ukraine’s Chief of Staff has provided details on dead or missing personnel, including their names, details of their deaths, and personal data of their families.
The information indicates that 118,500 personnel were killed or went missing in 2022, 405,400 in 2023, 595,000 in 2024 and 621,000 so far in 2025, which corroborates with a growing body of evidence which has emerged over more than three years that attrition rates have increased tremendously and unsustainably.
Commenting on the information, Ukrainian member of parliament Artem Dmytruk reported: “The lists of the missing today contain more than a million people, and of course these people are most likely dead, while their families remain in complete ignorance. The situation is tragic, the situation is frightening.”
Elaborating on the extent of the manpower losses Ukraine has suffered, Dmytruk lamented that villages had been emptied of men, including the conscription of the elderly and disabled, and that as a result of the “huge losses” of personnel Ukraine is facing and a “demographic crisis.” “We have lost several generations,” he said.
This appears to have been the main reason for the fighting. ABN
