      Information we receive is also asymmetric. We will get lots of articles about Russian troop movements, but reporters are wary to detail Ukrainian movements and plans (for obvious reasons). You also notice this in the opposite way as well, you will see all sorts of photos and information regarding Russian losses. But they tend to withhold specific information about Ukraine losses as to not give Russia more Intel.

      Most people’s argument is that Russia is probably already aware of that information, but the counter argument is better be safe than sorry. Especially when literal lives are on the line.

        From what I’ve read, the consensus is that we can pretty safely assume there’s about 1 Ukrainian soldier lost for every 3 Russian losses. And the Ukrainian general in charge of the counter attack has gone on record saying that they’re losing fewer troops counter attacking than they were when they were entrenched. Take that with a grain though. It could just be for morale purposes as they grind away at the Russian territory.
