there's no source for that, not even in reputable Russian media.
The Discord leaks had the Pentagon estimating 176k casualties on the Ukranian side.

No, some screenshots were edited (and spread by pro-Russian bloggers), the initial one shared on 4chan showed 17k KIA for Ukraine (Mar 2023):

(The second one is blurrier just because I did a crappy screenshot on my phone)
👀 How does that work?
So apparently there's no non-blurry copy of this supposedly fake misinformation edited by Russian hax0rs and the only thing the hackers did all war was to change unbelievable fatality numbers to believable ones when neither Ukraine or Russia seemed to care about the leak otherwise.

Do you want me to find an archive of the initial 4chan thread, when nothing about the leak was known at all? Just some random guy shared these pictures in the thread when arguing about the war, and that's when journalists/osinters start to dig and found the discord servers and everything.
I saved my copy (https://files.catbox.moe/7lk6a9.png, my upload) from that very thread when it was still live on 4chan (found it by googling Post ID from a twitter screenshot).
