Don't forget, every media outlet that isn't Russian is going to show those incidents to the world to make that bad guys look bad. We're also not likely to see any wins against Ukrainian military targets for both political and practical reasons. So it's very hard to tell from these reports what the overall picture really is.

Why I can see losses of Ukrainian army, while you cannot? They are not hidden by Ukrainians, because it's impossible to hide them in time of TikTok and FB. They are recorded and posted by civilians to YT, FB, TikTok and reported by Ministry of Defense. If MoD lie in FB, then users will correct them in real time.

Because we look in different places. TikTok and FB posts are isolated incidents and don't offer meaningful statistics. I'm sure if I want to see dead Ukrainians I can find that on Russian media sites. None of it is meaningful to the big picture. We really can't see the big picture numbers.
