Russia cannot afford to lose soldiers like this. Perhaps in the short term, but Russia already faces a catastrophic demographic situation, with an extreme shortage of men. The war has only made this situation much, much worse.
A lot of the men they've recruited/mobilised are elderly, prisoners, foreign mercenaries, or general hinterland riff-raff (alcoholics, drug addicts, etc). They've hired with the rationale of not getting their best men killed. Ukraine also doesn't conscript young men either
@Flipmole123 Yes, they are closing prisons because they’ve been emptied out. However, there are still plenty of young, ordinary Russians-especially those who are poor or live in the east-being sent to Ukraine. Many have fled Russia, afraid of being drafted. Russia cannot afford to lose any men. Even drunks, drug addicts, and criminals can father children. Dead men cannot.

Are you kidding? Russia lost 20 million in WW2 and purged 20 million more in peacetime under Stalin. At the current rate (40 million / 750,000 / 3 years = 17.7), Russia can keep going without a problem for at least 17 years and still be left with 100 million surplus population, easily enough to occupy other former Soviet Russia occupied countries.

Mr. Galeotti stated that while the economic problems caused by the war in Ukraine will hurt Russia in the long term, they are unlikely to significantly impact the conflict itself-assuming Russia can continue to fund its recruitment and procurement efforts at current levels. However, there are compelling reasons to believe this may not be sustainable. Russia is heavily reliant on cash from its exports and reserves from the National Wealth Fund, both of which are showing signs of decline. The price of Russian oil has dropped and may continue to fall, even as extraction and export costs rise. Furthermore, the liquid assets in the National Wealth Fund have dwindled to $50 billion and are continuing to decrease. Since Russia cannot easily borrow funds, exhausting these resources will leave the government with difficult choices: reducing war expenditures and scaling back operations or printing money. Either option would ultimately result in a reduction in military capabilities.
Imagine Trump baiting Russia into wasting all their soldiers in a massive land grab attack by saying he will end the war and then not ending the war. 😂

Ukraine is far more impacted from troops losses going into 2025, with chronic desertion rates a major issue for Ukrainian manpower over the last 6 months.

@JFJ12 Credible estimates of Russian KIA are ~175k by now. BBC/Mediazona’s numbers are confirmed KIA through probate courts, obituaries etc. Credible estimates of Ukrainian KIA are ~1/3 of Russia’s (~75k). What is your source for a much higher Ukrainian number?
