Estimates I have seen is that +90% of Russian combat forces are in Ukraine.
the Russian military will come out of it much stronger and better prepared for their next invasion.
Corruption and low morale are the two problems endemic to the Russian military. How will they be overcome?

Believe me, I hope you're right and I'm wrong, but I wouldn't believe it until certain.
The traditional Russian way of war is all about having huge reserves to back up their front lines.

I suspect that at least partly explains why so many high ranking Russian officers have been killed in combat.
With their corruption and incompetence exposed, death on the battlefield is an honorable and appropriate punishment.
Traditionally, war was looked on as a way for a nation to cleanse itself of bad people.
Today, especially where elections substitute for war, we don't think like that now, but the effect might still be seen in authoritarian dictatorships.

Again, I hope it's true and I'm wrong, but I wouldn't believe it until I know for certain.
