I've been saying that for a long time but people think I'm nuts. At about when the Ukrainian estimate was at 57k there were documents laked from the Russian ministry of pensions that stated they had to pay out to 53k relatives. The documents were 3 weeks old at the time. So things lined up very well... at first glance. But at closer inspection things fall appart: These were only the regular Russian army figures, as those are the only ones eligible for compensation to their relatives. The LPR/DPR folks families can go fly a kite if they lose a family member. Same goes for the Wagners recruited from prisons. So even at this early stage Ukraine was underestimating their own effectiveness. They have counted on a way too good survival rate among the wounded. If you count on 3 out of 4 getting hit surviving because of proper first aid and competent field medicine, but in reality it's 3 out of 4 DYING the result looks entirely different.

@logician3641 I'm not sure anyone knows. Russia obviously count army losses. But we can't say anything for sure about the rest. And it's not even sure Russia knows the true number of their regular army losses either, as there are plenty of reports that Russia counts people as MIA if no body is found.... but often refuse Ukrainian offers of a safe corridor to pick them up.
