BroJoeK,
I skimmed your word salad and decided not to read through it after seeing your insistence that the Ukrainians were killing 3 Russians for every 1 soldier their side lost. You keep repeating this kind of ridiculous comment over and over - no need for me to bother reading the rest.
All such numbers are estimates and anyone can consider the source when evaluating their reliability.
Here is a table of nine different groups' estimates of both Ukrainian & Russian deaths & casualties, as of their own most recent updates:
