Do we really reliably know how many they have lost or the average age? How?

    Information in war is almost never 100% reliable, I don't know where the age number came from, I just saw it reported.
    The number of lost Russian soldiers should however be pretty reliable as that is published every day by the Ukrainian ministry of defense. Last I did the math it was about 960 per day. These numbers have been somewhat confirmed by a UK Institute for the Study of war, and even Pentagon although it's a long while I've seen numbers from them last.
    I guess the average age is also from Ukraine.

    I post the daily numbers here every day.
