The 87% is based on the number of troops prior to the war, you know before recruiting policies for the war were issued lol. Its just a stupid stat, i wonder why they dont bring up Ukraines numbers, i bet theyre > 100%.
Even if we take figures prior to the war, this doesn't really add up. BBC and Mediazona were able to cough up only 39k losses, and they're the only ones with any sort of a methodology https://en.zona.media/article/2022/05/20/casualties_eng
you may be right, still i was pointing out that it is a misleading statistic even if it were true.
