Is there any way to know how many total military personnel russia still has alive? 890k is a fuckload of death. Yes, it's true previous wars have killed more russians than this one so far.....but that doesn't mean 890k isn't at the point where you wonder "but, who's left? How are they still fighting?"

I don't think "casualties" means just death. Wounds are also considered under casualties. I've read varying numbers of death, but it seems to be somewhere around 120.000-150.000. Which is still a staggering number, especially in the short amount of time. Whatever else happens, Russia is pretty well demographically fucked for a while. Unfortunately Ukraine is probably too 😒

So, theoretically someone could get shot, not die, raise the count by one. Then heal, go back on the feont lines and get shot again, still not die, but now he's raised the count by 1 again, meaning total he raised the count twice.

Yeah, I think so.
