>Russia is dying. In just the first week of Putin’s war, the country lost somewhere between 2,000 and 6,000 men, according to western sources, an immense and needless tragedy for the poor families left behind to grieve.
>country does not have enough men to spare.
144 million people live in Russia. This war is a terrible tragedy but it will not depopulate the country. It won't even depopulate Ukraine through casualties, although it's having a fair effect due to refugees (44M population, millions of refugees). Putin does not care about the families of the fallen, he is playing Civilization and you can't expand your borders without moving your pieces.
