Recent data released by Ukraine’s Armed Forces indicates that 116,950 enemy troops have been neutralized since February 24. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine shared these statistics on Twitter, highlighting the extensive losses incurred by Russia during its war on Ukraine.
In addition to troop casualties, Ukraine reported the destruction of numerous Russian military assets, including 3,121 tanks, 4,877 vehicles and fuel tanks, and 2,104 artillery systems.
