This is the best summary I could come up with:
Russia lost 1,740 troops in a single day, marking the highest number of daily Russian casualties since the start of the war more than two years ago, Ukraine’s military said on Monday.
Moscow’s troops have sustained around 484,030 casualties since the Kremlin launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, according to statistics published by Kyiv’s armed forces.
In an update posted to social media, Ukraine’s military also said Russian forces had lost more than 30 tanks and 42 armored vehicles in the previous 24 hours.
But the figures do offer some indication of the scale of the war’s impact, deep into its third year and as Russia launches a new offensive in northeastern Ukraine.
French Foreign Minister Stéphane Séjourné told Latvia-based Novaya Gazeta Europe in an interview published on May 3 that Paris put total Russian casualties at around 500,000, with around 150,000 fighters killed.
After Russia captured Avdiivka, a former Ukrainian stronghold to the northwest of Donetsk City, reported Russian losses dropped.
