They're including their estimate of wounded with the dead. Militarily speaking 'casualties' is anyone rendered incapable of service.
They used the term "liquidated" though not casualties.
That's the way the Ukrainian general staff refers to casualties.
Edit: semi related, Russian and Ukrainian troops will often refer to casualties by their old Soviet cargo type, 200 or 300 depending. I'm not sure if that feeds into the mentality of using the term liquidated or not, but I think it's interesting.
