My point is that the losses to Ukraine are unaffordable and unsustainable.  
They lost 15% of their best new armored vehicle in a week. They can sustain that for maybe 6 weeks, till it’s all gone.

But for Russia, losses of men and equipment are irrelevant. They have massive reserve supplies of both, and they can continue fighting for years.
