When Ukraine says casualties, do they mean KIA, or KIA, MIA, WIA and POW? I'm curious, because either way, this has been disastrous for Russia, but one is quite a bit worse than the other.

They use the term 'liquidated', which seems to most closely align with estimates from other countries as KIA + WIA + POW.
Ah thanks for explaining! I was never sure what liquidated meant.
Man, they just continue to pound those artillery systems. Ever since the first mechanized pushes failed; primarily due to Russian artillery, they have focused hard on counter-battery.
