    Well lets see, 0 deaths for the west, minor investment compared to running an actual war…

    As of October 2024, the estimated number of Russian deaths and costs in Ukraine are:

    Russian deaths

    The U.S. estimates that Russia has suffered 115,000 deaths and 500,000 injuries in the war.

    Western intelligence estimates vary, but some say the number of dead could be as high as 200,000.

    Russian costs

    Russia’s losses in Ukraine are greater than all of its casualties since World War II combined. The war has also set back Russia’s military modernization efforts by nearly two decades.

    Ukrainian deaths

    A U.S. official estimates that Ukraine has suffered more than 57,500 deaths and 250,000 injuries. However, Ukraine rarely comments on the scale of its battlefield deaths.

    Armored vehicle losses

    Russia has lost more than 8,000 armored vehicles, including 2,700 tanks. Ukraine has lost nearly 3,000 armored vehicles, including 740 tanks.

    Recruitment

    Russia has relaxed recruitment standards to allow older civilians and convicts to fight.

    Estimates vary widely due to a number of factors, including Ukraine’s reluctance to disclose its losses and the fact that U.S. intelligence analysts have focused more on Russia’s casualties.

    Ukraine is not in the west. So… If it’s Russia Vs. West, they’re losing really badly.
