    Why would this be necessary when Russia lost 87% of its military?

      I’m not expecting good faith here, but those reports were for Initial military.

        Those losses also include injuries, many of which have since been fixed and returned to the front

        Thanks for the explanation. I appreciate it instead of people just leaving a downvote without any indication as to why.
