The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said 2,980 Russian troops were eliminated in 24 hours, a new daily record.
That daily figure pushed the total it gives for Russian personnel losses to about 1,609,380 as of Nov. 9, 2026. The total covers the period since the start of the full-scale invasion.
Figures in brackets in the update are losses over the past 24 hours, the General Staff said. It added that the data are being verified.
Equipment losses
For tanks, the total rose by four to 12,462. Armored combat vehicles reached 25,683, up 15 in a day.
Artillery systems showed the larger jump among heavy weapons. The total rose by 68 to 52,112, while multiple launch rocket systems rose by six to 2,263 and air defense systems by two to 1,753.
The update listed 452 aircraft and 356 helicopters, with no daily increase shown for either.
Drones, missiles and support vehicles
Operational-tactical drones accounted for much of the daily change. Their total rose by 1,843 to 602,020.
Ground robotic complexes rose by 10 to 3,109. The cruise missile total was listed at 5,196, with no daily increase shown.
At sea, the totals were unchanged at 35 ships and boats and two submarines.
Support losses were also high for the day. Automotive equipment and fuel tanks rose by 638 to 172,488, and special equipment rose by one to 4,889.
What Kyiv says the losses do
The General Staff said Ukraine’s Defence Forces are systematically destroying Russian personnel, weapons, military equipment and support assets.
That work, it said, degrades Russia’s offensive capabilities. It also hampers the replenishment of resources and the sustainment of Russian troops, and reduces Moscow’s ability to continue the war, according to the update.
The figures are Ukraine’s own battlefield estimates and could not be independently verified.
