The personnel number is a bit under what one would hope, as it means a (very) slight replenishment in the Russia's manpower. They are recruiting in the ballpark 1300 soldiers per day, so this means the Russia's army grew by a couple hundred soldiers today. Of course, 1100 lost is 1100 lost, and that means about 300 dead plus about 800 who tell their friends and family that the situation is absolutely not as told in television.
The number of destroyed artillery systems is very good. This exceeds the Russia's production capability by quite a bit. 110 "vehicles and fuel tanks"... I've lost track of what that number means these days... Does it include Ladas and motorbikes? Or only cargo equipment and such? 3 tanks in a day is nice, because that's more than the Russia is producing. My understanding is that they are producing a tank once per day or two days. Or?

I think it is quickly putting Russia into a strategically existential situation. It might be that like much of the western military industrial world they actually convinced themselves cannon artillery was obsolete, or maybe it is that Ukrainian forces focused on sophisticated counterbattery sensors and doctrine and Russia just can't stop the bleeding because not firing the cannons at intense flashpoints is clearly not an option either...
North Korean Koksans are a definite help to Russia... but it looks a little desperate to me tbh.
Various reports have stated that because of the way Russia does meat assaults it is more like 990 dead and 110 wounded. There is of course no way to know for sure (at least not public information, who knows what classifed data shows).
There are also an unknown number of POWs and surrenders that are not in the 1100 number.

Very brief search around the internet gives estimations around 250-300 tanks per year but the numbers seems to go down as they struggle to gather parts and resources, specially during 2025, but who knows what kind of supply lines they can arrange with China and other allies in the long run.
Those are T-90M tanks, they aren't T-80s or T-14s.
I mean, they are still tanks but...
this reddit comment is interesting
It's an issue with how compact the transmission and final drives are. In order to get better reverse performance, they need a new transmission and power pack, outside of increasing the vehicle width.
Starting with the T-64, the Soviets/Russians instead of one gearbox unit and two final drives (one per side) as used on T-55 or T-62, they are using a system that has dual planetary gearboxes and integrated final drives connected by a driveshaft which transmits power from the engine via the intermediate power transfer gearbox with no main clutch.
This system offers two gearboxes per side almost directly. The advantage of such configuration is that it’s simpler, lighter and more compact, saving space inside the tank, while being very reliable and durable.
Compared to the T-55, the side gearboxes only occupy approximately the same space as the epicyclic steering units in a T-55 and the gearbox connecting the two steering units in a T-55 are absent in a T-64, so the difference in the occupied volume is tremendous.
The disadvantage of this system is that it’s indeed compact. During the design phase, a design trade-off was made; only one reverse gear was put in place because the transmission and hull width could not accommodate a larger transmission. It was very tightly designed per original Army requirements, which dictated the maximum width of a tank. They simply could not add another gear without making the tank wider using this transmission and final drive setup.
The T-80 has a slightly different transmission setup to go along with the turbine engine (dual planetary gearboxes with dual final drives with five forward gears and one reverse); however this wasn't as successful due to reliability and fuel consumption issues, so the Soviets/Russians never really carried the design forward. Furthermore, the T-80 simply has way more power and torque available, which permits a higher reverse speed despite having one reverse gear.
