710 personel is a pretty big number. Must have been a big day.
According to deep state map, Russia took a some KM² in the north eastern direction. They managed to cross a small river. I imagine some of them payed with their lives.
Have they announced how they come to these numbers?
Are they actual combat deaths or do they take into account surrenders and injuries substantial enough to be taken off the field?
It's KIA not casualties.
That’s what they claim, but suspiciously, the numbers are actually pretty close to western estimates of total casualties, not just killed.
It’s really common for armies to overestimate the damage they are doing to their opponent.
