Same...I use open source material. Look at confirmed numbers from both sides. And look at the opposing estimates and look for the data to back it up. And so far it’s clear Russia lost a lot more. However they can afford to. The real question is did Ukraine kill enough to slow them down...and it doesn’t appear they did.

Russia is using mostly foreign mercenaries (and Pitin puppet state armies as part of these mercenary groups) to do the heaviest fighting.

Ukraine didn’t just kill enough to slow Russia down. So far they DID slow Russia down.
Russia wanted to break out through Bachmut then to the West.
Maybe they will. But it’s taken them a year and it hasn’t happened yet.
We will see what the Ukraine offensive does in the next few weeks.
No idea but we’ll see.
