This is like World War I, the Russian Army is taking horrific casualties in Ukraine. So this may be it.

Russia lost 1.7 million men in WW I (and way more in the following Civil War). This war's casualties, while tragic for those involved, are still a pittance in comparison.

Russia lost 1.7 million men in WW I (and way more in the following Civil War).

Back then it was the Russian Empire (and later the Soviet Union). Modern day Russia is smaller. Their demographics are not what it was in the past.
