The casualties are allegedly detailed in a digital card index of the country’s armed forces obtained by Russian hackers.
Ukraine has allegedly lost more than 1.7 million troops killed and missing, multiple media outlets reported on Wednesday, citing a digital card index reportedly from the country’s armed forces.
Russian hacking groups have claimed to have obtained the information by gaining access to the personal computers and local networks of the Ukrainian General Staff. The database is said to include the full names of deceased soldiers, descriptions of the circumstances and places of their death or disappearance, personal data, next of kin, and photos.
The entries suggest that since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022, Kiev’s forces have lost a total of 1,721,000 servicemen. 118.5 thousand were apparently killed in 2022, 405.4 thousand in 2023, 595 thousand in 2024 and a record 621 thousand in 2025.
Hackers from the groups Killnet, Palach Pro, User Sec and Beregini are said to have obtained terabytes of information about the Ukrainian military. Aside from personnel losses, the groups allegedly also possess the personal data of the command of the Special Operations Forces and the Main Intelligence Directorate, lists of all countries that have supplied weapons to Kiev and lists of all weapons transferred from 2022 to 2025.
This Ukrainian casualty estimate far exceeds losses previously reported by Kiev.
In February, Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky told CBS News that since 2022, just 46,000 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed, with another 380,000 wounded. The estimate was widely questioned even in Western media, with the France’s Le Monde reporting last month that “the real death toll is likely much higher,” citing Ukraine’s increasing efforts to build military cemeteries.
The Russian military has consistently reported higher casualties among Ukrainian servicemen, claiming their losses particularly surged following Kiev’s unsuccessful counteroffensive in 2023. As of February, more than 1.08 million Ukrainian troops had been killed or wounded, according to Moscow’s estimates.
The Astounding scale of Ukraines war dead revealed
Vast cemeteries across Ukraine are literally overflowing with the dead.
The Dictator Zelensky claims only 41,000 are dead?

Zelensky is a war criminal for allowing Ukraine to be used as a proxy in the West’s war against Russia. It will be interesting to see what his fate will be.
as well as Boris Johnson a.o.
Wait until the truth comes out about the number of dead Palestinians killed by the Zio- Nazi’s masquerading as ”the chosen ones’ .
God help your country if America claims to be helping you out ,Every flag comes with a broken family and the this spectacle must demonstrate the ‘stroke of a pen’ decisions made far away in a safe and privileged world where indignant, righteous rhetoric enables us all to get right in behind this outcome
