600k losses is absolutely astonishing, if true. Wikipedia places their armed personnel numbers at ~2.5m, so to lose a fifth of your army to a war that you didn't need to start, that will ultimately leave you in a worse strategic position is ridiculous.
What is the endgame here? In two years they've lost a fifth of their army. In ten years will it be the entire army? I just don't see why they're continuing.
Russia has basically destroyed most of their elite and veteran force early on in the invasion. Most people arriving at the frontline have barely any training. They do recruit around 1000 new "volunteers" every day, so the numbers are just a bit behind their average daily losses. But the quality of the new troops is of course abysmal.
