My suspicion is you are correct.
It fits in with the likely casualties for Russian troops.
It is what you would expect in a "near peer" conflict, such as this war.
And yet with her statements admitting in the direction of the truth (combined with the leaked Ukrainian documents on Telegram and Twitter being bolstered by her comments), some Obama/Nuland/Biden agenda proponents on Ukraine have nothing beyond attacking those who report on these things (as Larry Johnson did) rather than attacking what they have reported and showing exactly where they are wrong.
As another person posted 2 days ago:
👉 “The New York Times also recognized the high losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Bakhmut, confirming the figures of 250 wounded per day.”
https://twitter.com/SpriterMonitor1/status/1596943128229203968
👉 “This is the hospital they’re talking about. It’s a hospital, not a field hospital with tents or a first aid station. A fully staffed hospital. Well, staffed as well as it can be under these circumstances. 250 is just the door count at this location.”

👉 “Some kilometers north #RussianArmy & #DPR forces entered in the town of Spirne/Спірне without resistance following the withdrawal of #UkrainianArmy. Combing operations continue to secure the town completely.”

👉 “1,200 Polish soldiers dead and about 3 times that number injured in the SMO.”

“Most likely explanation is that she was told there were 100,000 casualties and like many civilians with no military background thought that “casualties” meant “killed.” If that was the case, then the real number is about 25,000 killed and 75,000 wounded. This misunderstanding of military terms is very common.”
My first thought was “100,000 casualties out of action, not dead. That’s still a problem for Ukraine of course.
It is quite obvious for many reasons, not so obvious for those reading only western MSM. The truth is emerging, slowly but surely.
Ukraine 1991-2023 RIP
Ukraine is being chewed up so badly they are now relying on things like this:
👉 Forbes, 11/30/22: Ukraine’s World War II-Vintage Howitzers Still Work Just Fine
“The Ukrainian army’s newest howitzers also are among its oldest. On Sunday, the first video appeared online depicting ex-Lithuanian M101 howitzers in front-line use by Ukrainian forces, apparently somewhere in eastern Ukraine. The 105-millimeter M101 was the standard light howitzer for U.S. and allied forces ... in World War II. ...”
I think that Russia has a bad surprise for the Ukrainians writhing a week or two. The Ukrainian ground should be frozen solid by that time.
The army hohostan started this war with is mostly gone, replaced by mercs...
Saint George Washington Zelensky shall have to go to Moscow and single-handedly defeat it for the 9th time.
George Soros intends to defend his Ukraine criminal empire to the last Ukrainian life.
If there’s a man capable enough it’s him.
(Or The Ghost of Kyiv...perhaps Tank Girl)
“btw why is Russia retreating?”
Lulz.
That Western/UK/EU/US/NATO propaganda....
Are you on your knees when you swallow it, resident of Canuckistan?

One word: Denialism. ;-)
That’s total BS. Russia’s economy is peaking while allo western economies are collapsing including ours... That is pretty ****ing far from a spent force...
Washington’s Carthaginian Peace Collides With Reality
The Biden administration refuses to tell the American people the truth: Ukraine is not winning and will not win this war.
Col Douglas Macregor / Nov 29
https://www.theamericanconservative.com/washingtons-carthaginian-peace-collides-with-reality/
The national political and military leaders who committed America to wars of choice in Vietnam, the Balkans, Afghanistan, and Iraq, did so as a rule because they were convinced the fighting would be short and decisive. American presidents, presidential advisors, and senior military leaders never stopped to consider that national strategy, if it exists at all, consists of avoiding conflict unless the nation is attacked and compelled to fight.
The latest victim of this mentality is Ukraine.

Thanks for the link.
🤣😂🤣
What I meant was that Russia is not the super power that it is thought of.
A super power, waging war where it has short logistic and supply lines directly into its territory, should have overrun Ukraine.
It is, in that regard, if not a spent force, then at least not the force it assumed to be.
