Ukrainian General Staff: 1,110 Russian Soldiers Killed or Wounded in Past 24 Hours — Cumulative Losses Reach ~1,355,920

Ukraine's General Staff reported on May 24, 2026 that approximately 1,110 Russian soldiers were killed and wounded in the past 24 hours — a sharp spike from the 950 reported on May 23 — reflecting the intense combat activity across the front on May 23. Cumulative Russian military personnel losses since February 24, 2022 reached approximately 1,355,920. Equipment destroyed since the invasion: 11,950 tanks, 24,603 armored fighting vehicles, 42,640 artillery systems, 436 aircraft, 353 helicopters, and 308,321 UAVs. The daily loss spike to 1,110 is among the highest recorded in 2026. The sustained high Russian casualty rates — averaging 1,000+ daily in 2026 — have prompted Ukraine's Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi to assess that Russia faces a deepening recruitment crisis that has allowed Ukraine to seize the tactical initiative for the first time in the full-scale war.
