    Didn’t Ukraine just report a few days ago that the war has so far cost the lives of around 50k Ukrainian soldiers, and now they’re saying Russia has 1.2 million killed or wounded?

    Suffice to say, probably neither of those numbers is accurate.

      The same with Russia. For the enemy you put the upper estimate, multiply by 4 to receive wounded + kia and report this number. For your army you just put the official death count which does not include deserters or undiscovered bodies, etc… What you get is basically a picture where the enemy is doing a meat grinder

      Edit : i misread your comment. Ukrainian says ruSSian lost 50k per month recently and i confused that for what you wrote.
