Well, the best answers can be obtained on cemeteries. War in Ukraine costs around 1000 of Russian 'volunteers', and can (and was by Russian opposition) be easily traced on cemeteries, especially in some traditional 'well of soldiers' regions, like Pskov and Yaroslavl. But for now nobody found new 'lines of burial' on cemeteries, evidence of one-time large losses.

Couple of hundred KIA scattered among several RU federations isnt going to be traceable to mass interment at a single cemetery or two. Particularly if those casualties were obliterated by kilotons of US airstrikes at night on the defacto eastern border between Syrian and anti-Assad forces, neither side being noted for humanitarian truces to gather wounded and dead.
either side being noted for humanitarian truces to gather wounded and dead
In such cases an empty coffins buried. BTW, PMCs insurance includes help with burial, most recruits comes from poor parts of population (so it is impossible for their relatives to do everything themselves) - in result we should see a groups of identical graves.

In addition to the story being recently confirmed under oath by the CIA director, it had previously been substantiated in an interview with the US JSOC commander at the site of the battle. Little need at this point to go counting empty graves.
The ulterior question is why this topic was spun the way it was, quite fitting a biased pattern, on preliminary information in the first place?

Should we remind John Brennan issues? About drones, Russia-Trump dossier... Diving in near past, there was issues with Michael Hayden too ... BTW, highly unlikely Pompeo will got any penalties even in case of direct lie - and he can always say that he was misguided by local agents report, just as his predecessors did.

Thank you.
Braga is a clever man - with full my respect. He didn`t tell any exact numbers and used word 'estimates' . He know the worth of his words, unlike CIA folks.

Looks like the Russian journalist who recently reported on the Wagner Group, even attending some of their funerals, tripped and fell to his death from his 5th floor balcony in Yekaterinburg.
Doubtless he was pondering the worth of his words on the way down.
