11200 as-of now. Based on your estimate of real casualties= 3x identified casualties it's more likely to be 300-400 thousand which is already a devastating number way beyond the threshold you have mentioned.

It's just weird to remind that if a side, any side claims that it has 50 thousand casualties and the enemy is beyond one million, you are being fed with horseshit and you need to just stop eating it.

You entirely missed the point of my comment in order to state some pendantic bullshit. Here's a report stating 250k dead and 1 million casualties (https://www.newsweek.com/russia-casualties-ukraine-one-million-2083882). Now, fuck off troll.

I don't think they're a troll, what you stated is a common misconception. And you were wrong initially. Over or underinflating casualty counts is a big deal and it's best to be accurate. It's a notoriously difficult thing to measure.

Sigh. 300,000 dead Russian soldiers have been named by independent media. A million dead is realistic. The number of casualties is in the millions. What number of 100,000s people dead passes the threshold for you?

Independent media like Zona named 112k, while, well, CSIS estimated 250k, which is well lesser than one million.

You too please have a good day and don't forget to drink enough water
