In the past 24 hours, Ukrainian defenders recorded significant enemy losses, indicating active combat on the front lines and relentless destructive activity by the Ukrainian military during counteroffensive operations
According to official information, as of the morning of May 4, 2025, the total combat losses of Russian occupation forces in the war against Ukraine have reached quite high figures — two destroyed aircraft, over 1,340 soldiers killed, and 11 tanks damaged. This represents a substantial amount of equipment and personnel, reflecting a high level of Ukrainian defense activity and its ability to inflict significant losses on the enemy across all fronts. The source of this information is the official report from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which updates data on the situation at the front daily. Military officials have noted that due to the continuous receipt of refined intelligence data, there was a need to revise previous estimates of enemy losses. This applies not only to destroyed aircraft and equipment but also to a broader range of combat and auxiliary means — tanks, armored fighting vehicles, artillery systems, air defense systems, unmanned aerial vehicles, cruise missiles, and specialized equipment. Additionally, the press release states that the total combat losses of the enemy since the start of the large-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, and as of May 4, 2025, amount to approximately 956,810 personnel. Comparing these figures with the latest data, it is evident that over 1,300 more occupiers were eliminated in a single day, a clear indicator of active combat operations and high-intensity destruction as Ukrainian defenders press on the enemy. Regarding military equipment, enemy losses now exceed 10,758 damaged tanks, making this combat vehicle one of the most costly weapons in the arsenal of the Russian occupiers. Furthermore, more than 22,403 combat armored vehicles and nearly 27,328 artillery systems of various types have been destroyed, demonstrating the scale of operations aimed at eliminating active enemy military hardware. Over the past day, an additional missile firing system (MLRS), as well as one air defense asset and an enemy aircraft, were destroyed. Special attention is given to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), with enemy holdings exceeding 34,860 units. In one day, 163 tactical-level UAVs were destroyed, significantly complicating enemy reconnaissance and territory control activities. At the same time, Ukrainian forces continue to neutralize technical means — likely vehicles, tankers, etc., with their number increasing by 129 units over the day. This signals active offensive operations and damage to the enemy’s logistical chains. In summary, it can be stated that the current situation on the front remains tense, but Ukrainians demonstrate the capacity to deliver sharp strikes against the occupiers. The loss of equipment and personnel is evidence of a high level of fighting and an unwavering effort to prevent the enemy from consolidating control over occupied territories, as well as to exhaust its resource potential. The official data obtained from the General Staff encourage continued vigilance and mobilization of forces to achieve victory in this prolonged and difficult war.
