Mike,the 133 figure was released by Russian government as a final figure. I would assume that they would be more likely to fudge it up than decrease the count. Do you emember that the accusations of genocide and 2000 dead were cited as a decisive factor for the military action?
But apparently, that number wouldn’t hold under a scrutiny, so after the whole thing is almost over, they get their figure suddenly “right”.
I think that whoever did the damage assessment may have been biased by the earlier figure and used it as a guide for the damage markup.
