    222,650 war dead? From combat? JFC. Those are the bodies (or parts thereof) Ukraine can find, I presume? Probably twice that number wounded, and maybe another 50,000 or so dead from other causes (sickness, accidents, etc.). So, roughly around 700,000 casualties if we buy the Ukrainian figures?

      This is what they come up with based on all information. Russia has not done well getting wounded to medical treatment in all cases so it is hard to say how wounded fit in.

      These are numbers for publicity, they are a good sign of what is happening, but take with salt.
