The 200,000 Ukrainians dead figure, that someone here mentioned, is shocking. I would have guessed one tenth of that. If it's accurate, that is more than India has lost in all the wars with Pakistan and China , plus all the violent separatist movements and insurgencies put together( the wars plus the insurgencies/separatism)- and this number itself is substantial.

It is now a war of attrition, typical of every war in that godforesaken region. Imagine USSR lost 9 million soldiers and some 19 million civilians or approximately 20% their entire population in WW2! Combination of fighting in vast, open steppes with no cover for hundreds of miles, brutal combat strategy of just pushing waves and waves of soldiers just to exchange heaps of rubble over and over again all adds to the numbers. This is a stalemate, neither can Russia make any significant progress (their offensive on Avdeevka has lasted more than 2 months now with still no sign of the town falling) nor can Ukraine takeback the territory lost to Russia.

The only winners in such a brutal war are outsiders, namely the Europeans and Americans who will fight until the last Ukrainian. Apart from the human loss, what makes this conflict even a bigger tragedy is two countries losing tens and thousands of young men while already grappling with one of the worst TFRs in the world.
