Method. Figures come from the Ukrainian Air Force and General Staff morning reports (as carried by Ukrinform, Censor.net and ArmyInform), regional military administrations, ISW (read via Kyiv Post reposts), DeepState map updates (via Censor.net and DSnews) and named outlets. Russian MoD figures are claims. Data cut 08:00 Kyiv.
