Russia's Massive Losses - Joe Blogs



In this video, we take a deep dive into the latest report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) analysing the true scale of casualties in the war in Ukraine.

We break down:
The total number of casualties on both sides
The monthly rate of losses and how it has evolved
A direct comparison between Russian and Ukrainian losses
The scale of fatalities vs injuries
How much territory Russia has actually gained
And how these losses compare to historical conflicts

This is Part 1 of a two-part series, focusing purely on the human and military cost of the war.

In Part 2, we’ll look at the economic consequences for Russia — including the long-term impact on the workforce, government finances, and future growth.

This is one of the most detailed and data-driven analyses available — and the conclusions may surprise you.

Russia's military has been significantly degraded




These losses mean that Russia has been trying to recruit troops from foreign countries.
