    If they can achieve their goals, it doesn’t matter. The men sacrificed will just be a footnote of the war.

      Of the war maybe, but Russia’s future economy and demography are very much going to have long term impacts from these losses.

        Yeah, sure, but Ukraine will have it much worse (if western powers don’t finally take the war seriously).

          Putin didn’t start this war because he specifically hated Ukraine and wanted it destroyed, even at the cost of Russia’s existence. He started it because he wanted to make Russia great again. In that regard the war is an utter failure.
