And a recent report identified 60.000 Russian soldiers that had been killed. If the number of identifiable bodies alone is that high, the Ukrainian numbers are most likely credible.
Remember as well that modern small arms rounds are built to inflict serious injury if they don’t kill you outright - it takes more personnel to evac and care for a wounded soldier (unless you’re doing what Russia is ALLEGEDLY doing and just killing soldiers too injured to fight).
The BBC number cited in that article is for 100k deaths not casualties, which for 4:1 injured to killed ratio would tally with the Ukrainian number.

Russia is sending injured soldiers to fight. As evidenced by the appeal videos asking to prevent the practice.
