US EditionFour More Years? Russia-Ukraine War Nears Two Million Casualties Mark
The CSIS report projects up to 1.2 million Russian casualties and 500,000–600,000 Ukrainian casualties due to a prolonged war of attrition with slow Russian advances.
- On Tuesday, the Center for Strategic and International Studies estimated combined Russian and Ukrainian casualties could total 1.8 million and reach 2 million by spring.
- A grinding war of attrition has settled along a roughly 1,000-kilometer front line, with Russian forces advancing between 15 and 70 meters per day as Vladimir Putin delays settlement.
- CSIS compiled the estimate by combining its analysis with data from Mediazona and the BBC, British government estimates, interviews, and independent volunteers documenting over 160,000 named troop deaths.
- Local officials said Russia used one ballistic missile and 75 Ukrainian drones overnight, with strikes damaging an apartment block near Kyiv and injuring nine in other cities.
- Approaching two million casualties highlights the cumulative toll of nearly four years of full-scale war, with no major power suffering losses this large since World War II, as CSIS weighs the Abu Dhabi talks and U.S. posture on Donbas.
