These are some pretty big numbers today, and an aircraft on top.
Sadly Ukraine also has losses, but Ukraine is fighting hard to protect their country and families, and avoid Russian totalitarian control of their country. They are fighting for their freedom and a better future.

Russia is fighting for bullshit reasons, so how heavy losses are they willing to accept as a people for basically nothing? At what point will it be enough?

Right now Russia is not forcing anybody in combat. They are mainly taking people dumb enough to volunteer and see them die. This will carry on for some time, but they are also starting to send foreigners to die. Also Russia is one of the most unequal countries in the world. So Putin spending a lot of money on soldiers and the worker shortages and increased war production mean plenty of well paying jobs for many Russians. Many Russians profit from the war. They can afford to buy cars, houses, dish washers, fridges and toilets, when they did not before.

So the Russian economy has to collapse and due to worker shortages, falling oil sales, higher import costs due to sanctions and a lot more it seems like it is starting to happen. However this will take time and that means thousands of deaths.

There are numerous examples of Russia conscripting unwilling 'volunteers' as punishment for criminal offences, protesting, etc... Additionally, a policy of 'advance or be shot' strains the credulity of the claim 'nobody is being forced into combat'.

Yes I think it's starting to happen too, but their economy has been more resilient than we originally hoped. But when a company like Gazprom is running at a deficit now, it can only be a sign of a struggling economy IMO.

One more day and it will be half a million soldiers. A blib in Russia's calculus but each one of them had a full life, now they are nothing.

But stay strong Ukraine and may you have a breakthrough and collapse the Russian lines preventing you from having all your recognized land
