We need an order of battle for the Ukraine - Russia war

We need an order of battle for this war. A certain Twitter guy became the go-to for info on vehicle losses (did a great job too) but in my opinion that is just a modified throwback to the old Vietnam "body count" metric to see who's winning the war.

An order of battle would give us a better view of info that would actually tell us the current state of fighting.

How many Russian/Ukrainian units have become combat ineffective, reconstituted?  How many have been formed from foreign volunteers or built out of members of units that have been destroyed.

Logistics guys are focused on the number of vehicles destroyed, ammunition used etc.  Its an essential part of understanding the fight and keeping their forces in it.  Intel guys are focused on the units, where they're at and how they're equipped.  They're sweeping social media to get a peek at the moral.  Finally they're watching the fight to see which ones are effective and which ones appear vulnerable.

TLDR.  Anyone doing an order of battle for this war?
