Not only that, but those numbers are completely meaningless without comparing it with Ukrainian numbers. Russia has a numerical advantage in a war of attrition.
So far I have not seen any imagery of Russians trying to escape over the border (I'm sure it is happening), while there is plenty of evidence of Ukrainian men doing the same.
