Revision as of 21:01, 13 March 2022

Casualties in the Russo-Ukrainian War included six deaths during the 2014 annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, and thousands of deaths of civilians and military forces during the war in Donbas (2014–present) and the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine (2022–present).

Crimean crisis

During the Russian annexation of Crimea from 23 February through 19 March 2014, six people were killed. The dead included: three protesters (two pro-Russian and one pro-Ukrainian),[1][2][3][4] two soldiers[5] and one Crimean SDF trooper.[6] The two Ukrainian soldiers who were killed are regularly included in the military death toll from the war in Donbas.[7] On 10 August 2016, Russia accused the Special Forces of Ukraine of conducting a raid near the Crimean town of Armyansk which killed two Russian servicemen. The government of Ukraine dismissed the report as a provocation.[8]

War in Donbas

The overall number of confirmed deaths in the war in Donbas, which started on 6 April 2014, has been put at 13,100–13,300, by 31 January 2021.[9] According to the Ukrainian government, 14,000 were killed by 13 May 2021.[10]

Russian Armed Forces 400–500 killed[note 2] 6 April 2014 – 10 March 2015 US State Department[15]

Initially, the known number of Ukrainian military casualties varied widely due to the Ukrainian Army drastically understating its casualties,[16] as reported by medics, activists and soldiers on the ground, as well as at least one lawmaker.[16][17][18][19][20] Several medical officials reported they were overstretched due to the drastic number of casualties.[16] Eventually, the Ukrainian Defence Ministry stated that the numbers recorded by the National Museum of Military History were the official ones, although still incomplete,[21] with 4,629 deaths (4,490 identified and 139 unidentified) cataloged by 1 December 2021.[7][12]

According to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, 1,175 of the Ukrainian servicemen died due to non-combat causes by 5 March 2021.[22] Subsequently, the military did not publish new figures on their non-combat losses, stating they could be considered a state secret.[23]

Missing and captured

At the beginning of June 2015, the Donetsk region's prosecutors reported 1,592 civilians had gone missing in government-controlled areas, of which 208 had been located.[32] At the same time, a report by the United Nations stated 1,331–1,460 people were missing, including at least 378 soldiers and 216 civilians. 345 unidentified bodies, of mostly soldiers, were also confirmed to be held at morgues in the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast or buried.[33] In all, as of late October, 774 people were missing according to the government,[34] including 271 soldiers.[35] By the end of December 2017, the number of confirmed missing on the Ukrainian side was 402,[36] including 123 soldiers.[37] The separatists also reported 433 missing on their side by mid-December 2016,[38] and 321 missing by mid-February 2022.[29]

As of mid-March 2015, according to the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), 1,553 separatists had been released from captivity during prisoner exchanges between the two sides.[39] Subsequently, Ukraine released another 322 people by late February 2016,[40][41][42][43] while by September, 1,598 security forces members and 1,484 civilians had been released by the rebels.[44] 1,110 separatist fighters and supporters, including 743 civilians, were reportedly still being held by Ukrainian forces as of late March 2016.[45] The figure of separatist prisoners was updated to 816, including 287–646 civilians, in December.[46][38] At the end of May 2015, the Ukrainian commander of Donetsk airport, Oleg Kuzminykh, who was captured during the battle for the complex, was released.[47]

In December 2017, a large prisoner exchange took place where the rebels released 73 out of 176 prisoners they were holding, while Ukraine released 306 out of 380 of their prisoners. Out of those that were released by Ukraine, 29 brought to the exchange point refused to go back to separatist-held territory, while 40 who were already previously released did not show up for the exchange. Meanwhile, out of those released by the rebels, 32 were soldiers. This brought the overall number of prisoners released by the rebels to 3,215.[36] Among those still held by the separatists, 74 were soldiers.[48] The number of released prisoners was updated to 3,224 in late June 2018,[49] while the number of those still held by the rebels was put at 113.[50] At the end of December 2019, a new prisoner exchange took place, with Ukraine releasing 124 separatist fighters and their supporters, while 76 prisoners, including 12 soldiers, were returned to Ukraine by the rebels. Another five or six prisoners released by the separatists decided to stay in rebel-controlled territories.[51][52]

Foreign fighters

Foreign volunteers have been involved in the conflict, fighting on both sides. The NGO Cargo 200 reported that they documented the deaths of 1,479 Russian citizens while fighting as part of the rebel forces.[53] The United States Department of State estimated 400–500 of these were regular Russian soldiers.[15] Two Kyrgyz and one Georgian have also been killed fighting on the separatist side.[54][55] Additionally, at least 211 foreign-born Ukrainian citizens and 13 foreigners died on the Ukrainian side.[56] One of those killed was the former Chechen rebel commander Isa Munayev.[57]

In late August 2015, according to a reported leak by a Russian news site, Business Life (Delovaya Zhizn), 2,000 Russian soldiers had been killed in Ukraine by 1 February 2015.[58][59]

Foreign civilians

312 foreign civilians have died: 298 passengers and crew of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17,[60] 11 Russian journalists,[53] an Italian journalist,[61] one Russian civilian in cross-border shelling[62] and a Lithuanian diplomat.[63]

Landmines and other explosive remnants

As a consequence of the conflict, large swathes of the Donbas region have become contaminated with landmines and other explosive remnants of war (ERW).[64] According to the UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Ukraine, in 2020 Ukraine was of one of the most mine-affected countries in the world, with nearly 1,200 mine/ERW casualties since the beginning of the conflict in 2014.[65] A report by UNICEF released in December 2019 said that 172 children had been injured or killed due to landmines and other explosives.[66][67]

Identification and repatriation

Sergiy Kyslytsya, the Ukrainian Ambassador to the United Nations, announced on 27 February 2022 that the country had reached out to the International Committee of the Red Cross for help in the repatriation effort of the bodies of killed Russian soldiers.[87] Due to concerns that Russia was not reporting the number or any casualties of soldiers in Ukraine, the Ukrainian Interior Ministry began issuing appeals that same day for relatives of Russian soldiers to help identify wounded, captured, or killed soldiers. The initiative, called Ishchi Svoikh (Template:Lang-ru), appeared aimed in part at undermining morale and support for the war in Russia and was quickly blocked by the Russian government's media regulator the day the initiative began at the request of Russia's Prosecutor-General's Office.[88]

Prisoners of war

There have been many instances of troops being captured by both Ukrainian and Russian forces throughout the invasion.

On 8 March, a Ukrainian defense reporter with The Kyiv Independent announced that the Ukrainian government was working towards having Russian POW's help revive Ukraine economy in full compliance of international law.[105] Ukraine's ambassador to the U.S., Oksana Markarova, reported that a platoon of the 74th Guards Motor Rifle Brigade from Kemerovo Oblast surrendered to Ukraine, saying they "didn't know that they were brought to Ukraine to kill Ukrainians."[106]
