The numbers that Ukraine reports are likely much more accurate. 450k is just KIA
It's hard to explain the behavior of either country if KIA+WIA on Russia's side was only 450k

In late February, Zelensky said that their estimate of Russian losses was 180k dead, 500k total casualties. Russia's been busy since then, but not to the point of losing another 270k dead.
