The key item here is that "combat losses" is what is being tracked. This means KIA as well as Wounded in Action. The actual Russian death count is definitely lower from my understanding but the result is the same. ~300k Russians troops are no longer able to participate in this war.

To add to this I think Russia not too long ago accidentally leaked something close to the actual number deaths. It was around 120k I believe.

I wish they would go the fuck home and stop getting maimed and killed for this piece of shit's ambitions.
