OK fair enough but this is all theoretical.
Pic related (I filmed it because I thought the website was cool) is the Mediazona presentation of the name-verified Russian dead, counted at 111,000. Now obviously Mediazona is biased against the war but here it presents names, faces (if available), and the links to the Russian local news articles/sources proving that the soldier is dead. The information is also quite easily verifiable. One could easily write a Python script to pull the data and see if there are any duplicate sources, and you could even automatically verify the source (eg with AI or simpler methods). The website is: https://200.zona.media/
UALosses is a similar project on the Ukrainian side. They count around 150,000 dead (78,000 confirmed dead and 68,000 missing), with names and published sources. Website: https://ualosses.org/en/soldiers/
The Mediazona estimate is that 165,000 Russians are dead, since the 111,000 figure doesn't count missing soldiers like the Ukrainian figure does.
These numbers are closer to 50:50. Now obviously the figure on both sides is likely to be slightly different than reported because not every death or missing soldier will be sourcable online, and also not every missing soldier would be dead, but it's safe to assume most of them would be (or at least there won't be much of a discrepancy between the two sides on this matter).
My opinion therefore is that it's 50:50, with perhaps a slight edge in favour of the Ukrainians, although it could just as easily be a slight edge in favour of the Russians.
