Generally speaking, amongst technological peers, the attacking forces suffer 3 times the casualties of an entrenched defending force. Ukraine has just under 1/3 the population of Russia. That's why this war remains a stalemate.
What year did you graduate West Point?

I'm just a student of history. While the 3:1 ratio isn't a hard-and-fast rule due to the number of variables, it's a good rule of thumb. Due to Western assistance, Ukraine is operating as a technological peer to the Russians, which is why Russia hasn't been able to break the stalemate with the forces they've used so far. If they were trading casualties 1:1, this thing would have been over a long time ago.
