Up to 40.000 Russian soldiers were killed, wounded or captured on the front lines of the war in Ukraine, a senior NATO military official said. The same official added that this calculation has been made on the basis of information provided by the Ukrainian authorities as well as information received either officially or unintentionally from Russia.
According to NATO estimates, 7,000 to 15,000 Russian soldiers have been killed since the beginning of the Russian invasion to date; the North Atlantic Alliance, using statistics from previous conflicts, estimated that for every one dead, about three soldiers are wounded. In this way they calculated the total number of casualties.
Russia began its invasion with about 190,000 troops. Since then it has brought in additional troops from Chechnya, Syria and other locations.
