But that figure (~80,000) given by the Pentagon is from early August, so I'd think their estimates today would be closer to Ukraine's. Even if casualties includes wounded, which it technically shouldn't, I agree, that's an awfully high figure for a war not even a year old. 

I don’t know whether this estimate is close to reality, but Ukraine’s armed forces claims that it has killed more than 100,000 Russian troops and mercs in the war to date: https://www.foxnews.com/world/ukraine-cl...hs-war.amp

For what it’s worth, the article says the US estimates up to 80,000 “casualties,” which I take to include wounded. 

But if you believe the Ukrainian source, the most up to date claim (113k) if true would be similar to the number of lives than the US military lost in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan combined.
