Very interesting table showing distribution of confirmed dead Russian soldiers.
BBC News - Russia’s war dead tops 70,000 as volunteers face 'meat grinder' - BBC News

We hear reports of 600,000 dead or injured - if it's 70,000 dead, that strikes me as a low percentage of overall casualties. I wonder how many of the injured can return to the battlefield.

A article in our Estonian news today that should serve as a reminder not to let a dictator win and start taking over Europe. Klooga is only about 20km from my home.

Yes, absolutely.
The article does say that real Russian deaths are likely to be far higher - they have only counted those 'verified' by local news reports, social media posting etc.
