Russian forces lost around 1,000 troops and nearly 70 artillery systems over the past 24 hours, according to Ukraine’s General Staff on the morning of March 27.

The latest figures highlight the continued intensity of fighting along the front, where Ukrainian forces reported 150 combat engagements in a single day.

Since the start of the full-scale invasion, Russia’s total losses are now estimated at approximately 1,293,170 personnel.

According to the General Staff, cumulative Russian losses also include:

• 11,808 tanks;

• 24,287 armored fighting vehicles;

• 38,863 artillery systems;

• 1,700 multiple launch rocket systems;

• 1,337 air defense systems;

• 435 aircraft;

• 350 helicopters.

Drone losses continue to surge, with 2,222 additional operational-tactical UAVs destroyed in the past day, bringing the total to 200,611.

Russian forces have also lost 4,491 cruise missiles since the start of the invasion.

Logistics and support assets remain under pressure. Ukrainian forces reported the destruction of 217 vehicles and fuel tankers in the latest reporting period, pushing the total to 85,569.

Additional losses include 4,100 units of special equipment.

Naval losses remain unchanged, with 33 ships and two submarines reported destroyed since February 2022.

Earlier, Ukrainian assault units from the Skala regiment cleared the village of Minkivka, a key position along the Bakhmut–Sloviansk route, in an operation aimed at stabilizing the frontline and disrupting Russian offensive plans.

The assault allowed Ukrainian forces not only to regain control of the settlement but also to halt further Russian attempts to advance deeper into Ukrainian defensive lines.
