Ukraine reports losses only traditionally, because Ukrainians worry about their relatives, but losses are hard to count in real time. Dead soldiers are declared as missing until remains are found. Dead civilians are not reported by invaders at all. For example, we lost one MiG-29 just a few hours ago[0]. This morning report[1] is quite correct. Here is information[2] about death of Oleksandr Oksanchenko, one of the best pilots. And so on.
When dozens, if not hundreds, of soldiers and civilians die every hour, it's hard to track all of them. Usually, most information about losses will be available after the end of an intensive firefight, when officers will have time to fill reports. Some information about shootings is reported by civilians, but it is hard to verify it.
