Nearly one million Russian soldiers have been killed or injured in the Ukraine war, according to the British defence ministry and an American think tank.
The defence ministry says over a million Russian soldiers have died or suffered injuries during the war, which started on 24 February 2022. The estimates align with a study by the American think tank Centre for Strategic and International Studies.
