Russian forces in Ukraine have lost almost 8,000 tanks since the start of Moscow's full-scale invasion, according to figures published by Ukraine's military on Thursday.
Three were lost in the past 24 hours of fighting, the update posted to social media said on Thursday, bringing Kyiv's total tally of Moscow's tank losses since February, 2022, to 7,987.
Newsweek has not independently verified these numbers, and has approached the Russian Defense Ministry for comment via email.
Although precise figures are hard to come by, Ukraine's statistics do offer some insight into the toll wrought by more than two years of bitter fighting. Neither Moscow nor Kyiv regularly offers up figures counting their own losses, and experts say any tallies put forward by one side in a conflict should be treated with caution.
