The leaked Ukraine/Russian casualty *numbers* are themselves hilarious:
16k - 17.5k (RU)
61k - 71.5k (UA)
Notice anything "weird" (or should I say "palindromic") about these pairs of numbers?

So, I think I figured out how these edited casualty counts came about.
The first public mention of them was through the pro-Russia Donbass Devushka Telegram channel. How did the channel get her?
A pro-Ukraine troll group on Telegram made them as a joke, and sent on to her. https://twitter.com/AricToler/status/1644139100407054336
