Remembrance is an important moment of the year when we show our support for our Armed Forces. Wearing a poppy and supporting the #RoyalBritishLegion is one way to thank the Armed Forces for the sacrifices they continue to make to protect our freedom.

Latest Defence Intelligence update on the situation in Ukraine - June 04 2025. Find out more about Defence Intelligence's use of language: ow.ly/uKbR50VZfUg #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦

By the end of May 2025 Russia likely incurred approximately 980,000 casualties (killed and wounded) since launching the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, according to Ukrainian General Staff data.

In the first five months of 2025, Russia likely sustained approximately 196,000 casualties. However, through 2025 so far, Russian casualty rates have been generally decreasing. 48,000 were recorded in January 2025, and the 34,500 in May 2025 was the lowest monthly total of the year, a drop of 28 per cent.

Russian activity was lower in the opening months of 2025, which has likely correlated to a drop in the rate of reported casualties. Casualty rates will highly likely increase if Russia increases its attacks across the frontline in Ukraine.
