Ukrainian soldiers killed or wounded^*

^* Estimated Ukrainian casualties from the Russian invasion of Ukraine in the last … days.

Estimate based on roughly 5,000 Ukrainian soldiers killed and about 15,000 total casualties (killed and wounded) per month, triangulated from CSIS estimates of Ukrainian fatalities and the observed ~2.5:1 Russian-to-Ukrainian loss ratio, applied continuously from March 11th, 2026, the day the Silent Mesh idea was first spoken out loud.

No official figures for deaths and casualties are available from either side. Take it with a big grain of salt.
