Fair enough, I did mix those up.

Reporting does seem to suggest Russia throwing a lot of convicts and conscripts from occupied territories into the meat grinder.

Following your figures, that would suggest those are only about 20K (difference between the 120K figure you mention and the 100K this leak implies)

That does seem a bit low though.

I didn't go into the full breakdown of other PMC groups and conscripts from occupied terrifies that comprise the difference. The conscripts number over 20k by themselves.

The prisoners were part of the Wagner number, possibly also part of conscripts.
