The Ukrainians and Russians don’t release their own, but the Russians do release daily what they’ve inflicted on the Ukrainians, which is where I’ve got the average. By that average, and taking into account Bakhmut and the current disastrous counter-offensive, the Ukrainians have lost around 200 000 dead this year alone.
We also know for sure that there are at least 50 000 Ukrainian amputees, as advertised by US prosthetics companies that have been servicing them. Generally, in modern war, the number of amputees is about a fifth of the wounded and the wounded is about equal to the number of dead. So at least a quarter million dead Ukrainians.
Finally, these estimates allign with US internal estimates (from intelligence services and the Pentagon) and have been quoted by US officials in leaked documents. They recognize that the Russians have lost around 50 000 or less dead, and that the kill ratio is 1 Russian for 8-10 Ukrainian. So by this estimate, we get 400-500 000 dead Ukrainians.
