RMD at age 73

We took advantage of the provision that allows the first RMD to be taken by the year following my 73rd birthday.  Yes, now we must claim both amounts in the same year.  First RMD taken in April 2025 and the second taken in December 2025.  I am confused about the "Required RMD" amount and the "Amount distributed in 2025" amount.

Is the "Required RMD" the amount required to be taken for only 2025, and the "Amount distributed in 2025" the combination of the April (from 2024) and December 2025 distributions?
