WASHINGTON >> The number of Russian and Ukrainian troops killed, wounded or missing during nearly four years of war is on track to reach 2 million by this spring, according to a new study, a stunning toll as Russia’s assault on its neighbor grinds on.

The number of deaths, injuries and missing is approaching a grim milestone after nearly four years of fighting.

Russia's grinding invasion of Ukraine has caused nearly two million military casualties -- killed, wounded or missing -- between the two countries, according to a study published Tuesday by a US think tank.

The number of soldiers killed, injured or missing on both sides of Russia's war on Ukraine could be 2 million by spring, with Russia sustaining the largest number of troop deaths for any major power in any conflict since World War II, a report warned Tuesday. The report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies came less than a month before the fourth anniversary of Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24. Nine others were injured in attacks in the Ukrainian cities of Odesa and Kryvyi Rih and in the front-line Zaporizhzhia region.
