Pro Kremlin tabloid report says that 10,000 Russians were killed already. The report was taken down scrubbed and put back up. But the internet archive still has it for you:
www.kp.ru..." target="_blank" class="postlink">Report from Internet Archive of 10,000 dead Russians
I have seen footage of Ukrainians piling up mountains of dead Russians on Twitter. I didn't keep the link, and wouldn't post it if I did.
ETA:
OK. For some reason it will not let me link the archive. But I found a news article that references it you can open up this article and from there open up the link to the archived report:
Pro-Kremlin Tabloid Briefly Reports Massive Russian Casualty Number, Citing Putin’s Defense Ministry
ETA:
From the article:
The paper, Komsomolskaya Pravda, said in an article that 9,861 Russian soldiers had died and 16,153 had been injured during the invasion, according to data from the Defense Ministry. However, the article was reposted minutes later without the paragraph providing information on casualties. The original article was captured by the Internet Archive.
Russian news outlets continuing to operate inside the country have largely stopped reporting on the death toll from the war, as censors have forbidden any discussion that calls the conflict a “war” or “invasion”.
But on Monday, the Russian tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda, which frequently posts pro-Kremlin news reports, published a bombshell buried deep in a news story about the war: “According to Russian defence ministry data … 9,861 Russian soldiers had been killed in action and another 16,153 had been wounded.”
All morning, Russian planes had been circling the skies above the city.
Mariia Rodionova, a 27-year-old teacher, had been living in the theatre for 10 days, having fled her ninth-floor apartment with her two dogs. They camped next to the stage in an auditorium near the back of the building.
That morning she had got some fish scraps from an outdoor field kitchen to feed her dogs, but then realised they had not drunk any water. So at about 10:00, she tied her dogs to her luggage and made her way towards the main entrance where a queue was forming for hot water.
And then the bomb fell.
There was the sound of a clap, thunderous and loud. Then the sound of broken glass. A man came from behind and pushed her to a wall, protecting her with his own body. The blast was so loud that she felt intense pain in one of her ears, so intense she thought her eardrum must have split. She only realised it had not because she could hear the screams of people. The screams were everywhere.

Almost 900 destroyed Russian vehicles have been verified. So that would mean something like 8 to 16 casualties per vehicle. Seems plausible, especially when you consider that not all destroyed vehicles are documented.

Then why are we almost one month into this war and still no major cities have been taken , it should have been three days if I recall Putin's words?
Something isn't going well?

No one won the war yet so we will not know who’s a criminal and who’s not till then. I’m surprised you didn’t know that the winner decides that 💩
I mean who was charged with war crimes in America after fire bombing Japan etc etc, who in Vietnam was punished for war crimes etc etc
