Numbers from the Russian government itself show benefits paid for war deaths and wounded at nearly one million.
But who can believe Russian reports?
Shouldn't we expect the Russians to understate their own casualties?

Casualty estimates for Ukraine, iirc, are running in the 200,000 range, including tens of thousands of civilians.

There is no doubt that both sides have suffered grievously, but since Russians are the aggressors, they deserve far less of our sympathies.
