>Body exchange means only that, not related to causality count

Thats the most off the wall opinion Ive heard today.

>If russians are continuing slow advance, where do you expect bodies to be found?

Note that body exchanges were not this lopsided when Russia was retreating in 2022.

>it's reasonable to expect 3:1 KIA rate between attacking and defending

Unless one side is comprehensively outgunned and keeps falling into cauldron traps because they have orders to cling on to land at all costs.

Which seems to be a repeated pattern here.

>> Note that body exchanges were not this lopsided when Russia was retreating

That is the point. There are simply no Russian bodies in the territories controlled by Ukrainian army. To extract bodies they should be far from the front line, with current drone activity it's 20+ km. Body exchange says nothing about KIA.

If russian "meat" assault costs them a 100 killed to fulfill talk to capture a treeline - those 100 bodies will be on russian-controlled territory and not for exchange.
