"Ukraine has not lost and there is no reason for Ukraine to lose. Russians are adapting for a long war effort in Ukraine, but they are not the Red Army hordes wrapped in the triumphant banners of World War II victories that Putin and his propagandists pretend them to be," the think tank said.
The ISW said the number of Russian fatalities likely exceeds those killed in the Soviet-Afghan war.
Russia has often used costly "human wave" tactics to achieve its military objectives in Ukraine.
More Russian soldiers are likely to have died seizing the Ukrainian town of Avdiivka than in the 10-year Soviet-Afghan war, the think tank the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said.
Russian forces began their brutal campaign to seize the town in eastern Ukraine in October and finally succeeded earlier this month.
However, the victory came at a high cost — Ukrainian military officials estimate that up to 47,000 Russians were killed or injured in the battle, along with scores of tanks and fighting vehicles. By comparison, up to 25,000 Soviet soldiers are believed to have been killed during the entire Soviet-Afghan war.
While Russia is known to downplay its losses, a high-profile military blogger recently said that Russia had lost 16,000 soldiers and 300 armored vehicles in the battle for Avdiivka. He was found dead a few days later, with reports suggesting he died by suicide.
War analysts and Ukrainian commanders noted that Russia's tactics to take Avdiivka often involved "human wave" assaults, in which Ukrainian positions were overwhelmed with large numbers of Russian soldiers on foot.

If Ukraine was winning wouldn’t they be taking ground?
I don’t believe that for a second. The Average age of a Ukrainian soldier now is in the 40s.
Ukraine has a population of 43 million. Russia has a population of 143 million. Who will win a war of attrition?
Vlad the Impaler could care less how many Russians he sends to their deaths in Ukraine. Via Vlad’s tactics of human waves, meatgrinder attacks on Ukrainians positions.
Russia is already one of the largest geographic countries in the world.. why do they need MORE land? the cities have been destroyed and the people have been killed or fled. What is the point? more land? None of this makes any sense.
It is a meat grinder for both sides.
Ruzzia has plenty of solders.

With the massive Russian losses and the Ukies only losing 31K in two years, they sure don't need any more of our money. So stop sending it and stop asking for it!
Let'em keep going. All the Russians will soon be dead, and Zelensky can go back to his clown homo show!
Losing. It’s what Ukraine is doing. 😂
Putin 2024 🇷🇺
Thank God for the unstoppable, improbable Ghost of Kiev!
