Russia's military has a history of dishonesty in reporting those figures, it gave the number as an estimate, as there's no confirmed accurate measure for Russian losses.

It likely doesn't have an accurate count itself, "even amongst Russian officials there is likely a low level of understanding about their total casualty figures b'cos of it long-established culture of dishonest reporting within military," ministry broke down Russian casualties into likely numbers of injured & those killed between traditional military and soldiers with the Wagner Group, a mercenary force that played a key role earlier in the war and experienced huge losses.

Russia's military has likely experienced between 180,000 and 240,000 personnel wounded and about 50,000 killed, while Wagner Group has likely seen about 40,000 wounded and 20,000 killed. This would mean about 290,000 to 350,000 total casualties. Ukraine said that as of Monday, Russia had more than 332,000 casualties in its invasion.

That's in line with other estimates: The head of NATO said last week that Russia had more than 300,000 casualties but added that those losses didn't mean it would stop its war efforts.
