Reply to comment by CheesecakeMedium8500 in Ukraine fighting is deadlocked, spy chief Kyrylo Budanov tells BBC by apple_kicks

Were not there recently news that Russia lost 100k troops, and Ukraine lost around 100k troops, too?

You’re including wounded in the “casualty” number. Russia has seen more than 20,000 soldiers confirmed killed. Ukraine has seen about 10,000. And the trend for Ukraine is stable. The trend for Russia is ever increasing.

No, confirmed killed for Russia is a lot higher based on reports. Also, since Russia doesn't have proper medics and field hospitals the wounded converted to killed % is high.

Where have you seen confirmed killed higher? BTW confirmed killed is always lower than the actual number killed because confirming deaths and reporting them takes time and resources.
