Russia’s undeclared war against Ukraine will enter its seventh year in 2020. While fighting is now sporadic along the frontlines, Kremlin-backed forces still occupy much of eastern Ukraine and the death toll of Ukrainian soldiers continues to mount. Just the first three weeks of the new year resulted in 10 deaths for the Ukrainian army.

The overall death toll for the Ukrainian military killed in action since hostilities began in 2014 has reached 3,057 soldiers as of Jan. 22, according to the Kyiv Post count based on military and media reports. In 2019, at least 110 Ukrainian army fighters have been killed in the Donbas: April and July being the deadliest months claiming lives of 15 and 14 soldiers respectively.
