The number of losses of the armies of Ukraine and Russia during the full-scale invasion together is about one million people. The occupiers' losses are higher: 200,000 killed and about 400,000 wounded, according to the Wall Street Journal. The journalists received this data from Western intelligence.

‘The high - and rapidly rising - casualties on both sides underscore the devastating long-term effects this will have on countries that were struggling with population decline before the war, largely due to economic and social upheaval. They also highlight one of Russian President Vladimir Putin's own motivations for launching an invasion in 2022: to increase Russia's population by absorbing Ukrainians. According to government and demographic estimates, Russia's invasion and seizure of Ukrainian territory over the past decade has resulted in Ukraine losing at least 10 million people as a result of occupation or as refugees,’ the article says.
About 25-27 million people now live in the free part of Ukraine. Approximately 6 million left as refugees, and another part is under occupation.
About 600,000 people left Russia after the attack on Ukraine in 2022.
