Det finns en rapport om de Ukrainska förlusterna i Bakhmut. Minns jag rätt var det Rob Lee som postade denna på Twitter.
De var storleksordningen en fjärdedel av de ryska.
Det var redan innan denna allmänt känt att ryssarna led högre förluster i Bakhmut än Ukraina men oklart i riktigt vilken omfattning.

The battle of Bakhmut was described as one of the bloodiest battles of the 21st century, with the battlefield being described as a "meat grinder" and a "vortex" for both the Ukrainian and Russian militaries.[43][44] On 11 January 2023, Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak described the fighting ongoing at Bakhmut and Soledar as the bloodiest since the start of the invasion.[230]
As early as December 2022, it was estimated that hundreds of military personnel from both sides were killed and wounded each day. Intense shelling and frontal attacks by the Russians with minimal gains have been compared to the conditions of the First World War. Russia and Ukraine have been engaged in a battle of attrition.[231] However, Russian losses have been disproportionate by comparison. On 6 March, an assessment by NATO was that five times as many Russians were being killed, while the Ukrainian government claimed the Russians had "potentially" lost seven times as many soldiers as Ukraine.[232] By early June, the Ukrainian military increased this claim to 7.5 times.[32]
