Russia Lost over 50,000 Soldiers in September, Bloomberg Reports

  • On Oct. 11, a NATO official told Bloomberg that Russian forces suffered over 50,000 personnel losses in September, the highest monthly total in 2026, including upwards of 28,000 soldiers killed.
  • Ukraine's General Staff reported 46,230 Russian losses in September, corroborating NATO's figures and showing casualties rose from 31,710 in January, an increase of nearly 46%.
  • As of Oct. 11, the General Staff reported Russia suffered 1,552,840 personnel losses since the February 2022 full-scale invasion; President Volodymyr Zelensky estimated the total killed or wounded exceeds 1.5 million.
  • Ukraine's Armed Forces suffered 5,000 casualties in September, according to the NATO official, while Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov previously argued Ukraine aimed to "kill 50,000 Russians per month" to undermine Moscow's war effort.
  • Ukrainian intelligence reports Russia's General Staff is prepared to mobilize around 300,000 people in 2026, though Moscow does not publish comprehensive casualty data and these figures cannot be independently verified.
