Also, other monitors do give Ukrainian losses and they currently show UKA losses of vehicles are miniscule compared to Russian indicating UKA doing little other than defending.( see link 07:50 ) and Russkis bleeding very badly.

Of course it helps the enemy, if estimates of Russian losses are running at 1000 a day and you release your losses on given days, they can see where combat was taking place on those given days and compare losses, if the Russians are lower then they can see the advantage of pressing the attack in those area. It also gives Russia indications of Ukrainian strength, reserves and If they can maintain replacements.

Plus it does your troops moral no good, nor those back home to show how many they are losing, nor for recruitment.
