MOD with thoughts on RU casualties (4/5) It is likely that Russia has suffered 150,000-190,000 permanent casualties (killed and permanently wounded) since the conflict began, with the total figure including temporarily wounded (recovered and due to return to the battlefield) in the region of 240,000-290,000. (5/5) This does not include Wagner Group or their prisoner battalions who fought in Bakhmut.
