The estimates are Casualties, which includes injuries.
I an offensive war, generally speaking, casualties are usually estimated to be two to three injuries (moderate to severe) per death. Basically, a casualty is anyone who has sustained injuries that put them out of the fight either temporarily (a couple of hours+) or permanently.
If these numbers are correct, we’re talking about roughly 250k to 333k killed, the rest being injured.
Source: It was a rule of thumb I learned eons ago in the army. I’m curious how accurate it is nowadays with drones showing howitzer shells down your throats.
Does “lost” mean died? Or also out of the war due to injuries?

Both, killed and injured.
