British intelligence has estimated that nearly half a million Russian soldiers have been killed since the start of Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, underscoring the scale of losses as the war grinds into what analysts describe as a near stalemate. The figure was cited in a May 27 speech by Anne Keast-Butler, head of the United Kingdom’s Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), who said Russian forces were continuing to suffer extremely high casualties while making limited battlefield gains.

The number includes 1,010 casualties that Russian forces suffered over the past day.
