Ah yeah, citing Ukrainian officials on Russia’s lost troops.

Let’s try to deconstruct the math

1,200,000 lost, but only deaths could be documented, and for some reason everyone believes that the wounded to kia ratio is 3:1.

Meaning that the assumed kia count is 400,000.

The journalists found out ~170,000 confirmed deaths, meaning the quotient of real/confirmed exceeds 2. Which is ridiculous.
