Ok. I just remember lots of reports of Air Assault Brigades being decimated late last year around Bakhmut. As you say though the fighting there was largely down to Wagner.One elite unit lost 39 and a commanding officer around Kiev at the start of the war.
"The heavy losses of an elite Russian regiment in Ukraine - BBC News" https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-60946340.amp
Therafter, the losses for these units were then hyped up to claim 900. You can't claim the Russians have a crap army and are crap fighters, unless they suffer 'huge losses'. It's part of the psyops.
I know the Ukrainian claims in this war have been very dodgy at times. I think they got shut of Hanna Maliar over the porkies she told to the media which eventually got blow back from their own military as worse than useless.
