So far I have not seen any imagery of Russians trying to escape over the border (I'm sure it is happening), while there is plenty of evidence of Ukrainian men doing the same.
You seem to think it's like a game of Risk, where 8 armies always beat 2 armies. If that was the case Putin would have been in Kiev long ago. These particular figures are intelligence estimates for Russian losses - nothing more. Those reading them can draw whatever conclusions they want from them. If you detect UK favouritism towards Ukraine, have a banana - the UK is Ukraine's ally and is certainly not going to release intelligence on their losses. If you don't want to believe the figures, or want to compare them to some other statistics, that's up to you.
