Russian forces: 462,000–728,000 killed and wounded 24 Feb. 2022 – 5 July 2024 So doesn't seem high compared to that Wikipedia page it's been 3 months of about 1100 per day, so backdating todays number of 660k by 90x1000 = 561k Which is the lower end of casualties.
There are other estimates on that page and some like Austins with 350k are much lower. The US Secretary of Defense is also a pretty decent source, so hard to dismiss that one.
