Apparently Russian and Ukrainian losses are at parity now. This is good news for Russia considering they're on the offensive.

Parity? Russians are inflicting more than 10:1 losses for the last three months since they adjusted tactics to a battle of attrition.

Do you have a source for that?

By Ukraine's own admissions, they're firing 5000-6000 shells a day, and the Russians are firing 50,000-70,000. The Russians in addition have air superiority and long-range fire superiority. Russians have fired as many as 2600 long-range missiles since the start of the war. That's larger than the stockpiles of Britain, France, Italy and Germany combined.

Just yesterday, reports came out that 1000 Ukrainian soldiers were killed in one day from missile strikes alone. 20 missiles at Nikolaev killed 420 Ukrainian soldiers at once.

Anti-Putin figures have compiled a list of Russian dead and it stands at 4000. Russian allies aka LDNR have another 4000 dead. So, in total, 8000 dead.

Ukraine in contrast has suffered 60,000-70,000 dead. They have admitted to 500 deaths per day but this is likely a serious undercount considering that they claimed 100 dead a few weeks before that.

They're down to conscripting men over 50 years of age and young women.

Extrapolating 500 dead over 120 days yields 60,000 dead
