That is brutal. 231 thousand Russian humans being killed for a dumb war just to try and grab some land.
I am very certain that number includes also injured and missing soldiers. Still mind boggling.
It absolutely does include wounded. Ukraine keeps their wording vague, perhaps on purpose, but there’s no way their estimate of KIA is 4-5x higher than any credible western estimate.
It’s still an absurd number of casualties, and it’s absurd that Russian citizens don’t seem to care at all.
