The Wall Street Journal reports this is based on intelligence that puts the death toll somewhere between 7 and 15k, and statistical modelling to infer the total loss of force strength based on that figure.

I wonder how aware of this Putin is. Are the yes-men still telling him only what he wants to hear or is he actually out of his tiny little gourd?
A telling comparator is that Russia saw 15,000 troop losses during their ten years in Afghanistan.
