Estimates put that at 616,000...
Do you think, before you write?
According to the US Marine Corps University Press, this was the size of the initial invasion force:
"At the start of 2022, the Ukrainian military had 196,600 active-duty personnel, which, according to the 3:1 force ratio rule, would have required an invasion of 590,000 Russian personnel. Instead, the Russians planned an invasion with 190,000 personnel, actually smaller than the combined Ukrainian armed forces."Then, throughout the winter of '22-'23, Russia mobilized a further 300,000 men. This was the first and last mobilization on the Russian side throughout this entire war.

Further, Wagner was allowed to recruit up to 40,000 convicts from Russian prisons.

Beginning roughly in the Spring of 2023, Russia shifted its efforts to recruiting volunteers through economic incentives. The rate of recruitment since April of last year has been roughly 30,000 men per month.

So... a rough picture of how many men have gone into the Russian army since the war began:
1) 190,000 initial invasion force (this was retarded)
2) 300,000 Winter mobilization of '22-'23
3) 40,000 convict recruitment
4) 16 months X 30,000 = 480,000 volunteer recruitment
This gives us a rough total of 1,010,000 men that have gone through the army.
If 600K Russian soldiers have died, as you say Milo, then we can assume at least double that amount have been wounded, or a further 1.2 million people.
That's about 50% more than the entire amount of soldiers that have gone through the Russian army over the last three years.
It means, either Ukrainians are lying - as they always do - or they are telling the truth, and they are somehow managing to routinely lose territory and men to an army of ghosts.
In the real word, and not in the world of Ukrainian fantasy that you live in - the highest estimate for Russian dead is 145,000.
Nobody knows how many Ukrainians died, because when they're "our sons of b*tches" it's ok to withhold information that in the UK or US would have long been disclosed.
