Original Note:
The Russian Ministry of Defence regularly produces unsubstantiated figures for the war, often inflating numbers for propaganda purposes. https://euromaidanpress.com/2023/05/31/russias-mod-inflates-ukrainian-casualties-likely-to-conceal-high-russian-losses-isw/ Independent, visual, open source verification of equipment losses puts the figures much lower: https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2022/02/attack-on-europe-documenting-ukrainian.html
