Nobody denies Ukrainian WIA are treated not only in Moldova or Rumania, but all the way to Germany, UK, and USA.

Nobody denies Ukrainians have suffered losses: it's in the nature of wars like these, and when one is assaulting heavily-fortified positions, that the assailant is going to suffer losses. This is no 'Desert Storm' of 1991, with open desert, and one side having a galatic-level of superior situational awarenes, but a war between two 'quite similar' opponents.

However, claiming the entire 128th Brigade was 'defeated' and/or 'destroyed' on basis of one 3rd-class report about 'at least 9 casualties', 'flags lowered to half mast' and similar - and then calling names whoever is not promptly buying that - is somewhere between distilled primitivism and professional whataboutism. My conclusion is that it was both, and thus that guy is now out of this place.

Re. where to find trustworthy information: actually, it's everywhere. Thanks to internet, we have the events of any war around this globe virtually 'in our hands' in a matter of 5 minutes to 5 days.

Thus, as demonstrated in this article: take 5, 10, 15 sources, put all their info 'on one pile', pull out a map and see what do they say. Then cross-check results agian, and again.

Sure, not everything will be '100% on mark', and actually about 99% of info is still missing, but one has got the picture. That's what matters.

The rest is experience in doing that for 35+ years.

BTW, have been told I'm 'wrong', countless times, and by people having far more clue than that 'Debunker', over the decades. My conclusions about Iranian F-14s, about Iraqi MiG-25s, about Cuban MiG-23s etc., etc., etc. all still stand. Can't recall even one of 'debunkers' in question, though.
