Russia's military deaths in Vladimir Putin's ongoing war have surpassed 36,000, Ukraine's armed forces said Monday, as Moscow claimed a major victory after appearing to take control of the Luhansk region.

Ukrainian officials regularly provide updates on Russian military losses. The general staff of the armed forces of Ukraine said on Facebook that since Putin's war began on February 24, Russia has lost 36,200 military personnel.

Putin has also lost 1,589 tanks, 3,754 armored combat vehicles, 804 artillery systems, 246 multiple rocket launchers, 105 air defense systems, 217 aircraft, 658 operational-tactical UAVs, 15 warships, 2,629 vehicles and tankers, and 187 helicopters, according to Ukraine's combat losses update.

36K in less than 6 months?

To put it in perspective, we lost 58K in 10 years of Vietnam ('65-'75).

This has become an unmittigated disaster to Russia and Russia's standing in the military community.

And to think Putin thought this would be a "48 hours War"
