I detect and errors and omissions in the near future
The British MOD statement says: " Russia has suffered 150,000-190,000 permanent casualties (killed and permanently wounded) ... with the total figure including temporarily wounded ... 240,000-290,000" Unfortunately, it doesn't suggest "another" 240k to 290k. According to their statement, the 150k-190k would be included in the 240-290k total.
