25,000 Russian soldiers would be happy, if they were still alive.
The KIAs are well north of 35,000 now. And the count for wounded is typically 3X that of KIAs. I’m not certain as to the number of POW’s and MIA’s, but I wiould think it is significant.
The “Russians” may “win” their war in Ukraine - but will cost them dearly in men and material. Moscow will require decades to recover from this ill-advised invasion; but the Russians never were an intelligent people to begin with. Inbreeding with mongols, etc., significantly debased their European genetic stock.
I am of the opinion that Russia’s days as a world power are coming to a close. I would not be surprised to see a civil war break out, based on the antagonisms that exists between the western (Moscow, Saint Petersberg) and the eastern territories.
Moreover, seeing the true weakness of the Russian military, China is likely considering it’s own invasion so to take a good portion of Russia’s far eastern territory, which the Chinese have long desired to reclaim.
