Well, tied with the Ukrainians.


Because of the death toll, overall, no.

As it is, middle-class Russians started noticing that Ukrainians had a higher standard of living.


Ukraine was much poorer than Russia before the war, the situation was pretty bad. That's why so many Ukrainians lived and worked in Russia, the pay was better in Russia, and the quality of life was better.

haha... Ukrainians had indoor toilets and washing machines. Russia was always the worst off country in the Soviet Union, living standards-wise, and it never caught up.

Between the meat wave attack losses and the upper brass getting killed on the front or falling out of windows, which experienced Russians are supposed to be surviving?

I'll let one of the vets here point out that fallacy of your assertion... but Russia has not been impressive. If Poland or Romania go into battle at least there will be full tanks of gas and fuel supply trucks planned and the tires won't have dry-rotted. How much experience is needed to put guns in people's back and tell them to charge, or to fire missilles?
