Almost a million casualties and a quarter million fatalities. That’s a mind boggling insane cost for this war. On the bright side, it’s a good time to buy Soviet brides!
Citation needed. I’ve seen independent government estimates that as much as 90% of casualties are death. Russia doesn’t care so is sending people on “meat assaults” where they well know most will die, and when someone is disabled they don’t bother trying to get them medical care. However I have no idea how accurate that claim is - other than it was a government who should have better intelligence than me.

Let’s say it’s an optimistic estimate based on a typical 1:4 rate for an attacking military that cares about their soldiers.
