Many thousands of western mercenaries have died in Ukraine last I checked, and European economies are in a tailspin right now. IMF just cut the forecast for Germany again https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/imf-cuts-forecasts-german-economy-this-year-next-2024-10-22/
Meanwhile, Russian economy is growing faster than ever, and the World Bank has now reclassified Russia as a high income country as well https://www.worldbank.org/en/about/leadership/directors/eds23/brief/russia-was-classified-as-high-income-country
Anybody who accepts these numbers uncritically is incredibly gullible. The only western numbers that had any actual methodology came from mediazona which managed to account for something like 40k casualties. Given that Russia has a population of 144 million, I'll let you do the math on that.

I love how you just guzzle propaganda completely uncritically. If Russia lost that many vehicles then the war would've been over a long time ago. Nobody with even a minimally functioning brain could believe this.
Ukraine is very obviously a western proxy.
I'll just leave you with an explanation of how the war is going from somebody with an actual clue on the subject, happy coping

lol "rusi.org" yeah I'm not clicking that.
Do explain why you wouldn't click a link from The Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) which is the world’s oldest and the UK’s leading defence and security think tank.

Your first mistake was expecting libs to have a thought process
