I am pretty sure Russian losses are very large, no one should doubt that, after all, they entered another country and are taking on their full military power headfirst... however, we cannot expect the Russians will simply go back home on the face of any resistance: we should expect them to fight harder and harder until they get their way, or finally give up, but at a very high cost... I mean, I admire Ukrainians putting up a resistance to a much larger enemy like they're doing, but in my view, if Ukrainians fight til' the end, this will only end with one of two scenarios:
* Russians leave humiliated and broken.
* Ukrainians finally capitulate.
In the first case, Russians are likely to first destroy everything in their path before leaving, because they will want to show they did not go home without inflicting more pain than they suffered.
In the second, the outcome is actually similar, but Russians don't leave for a while at least (Putin seems to intend to install a puppet government, then leave).
In both cases, there's almost nothing left standing in the whole of Ukraine. Unless they stop the fighting and negotiate, this seems to be the inevitable outcome.
