@itspeekaboo I don't know that I have an opinion as such. They could certainly simply be getting destroyed, as we are constantly told, but there is another theory worth thinking about.
Putin has no interest in conquering Ukraine. He simply wants Donbass and Crimea.
To this end he has launched a massive attack, deploying generally weak troops with old equipment. The best troops and the best equipment are concentrated in Donbass, preparatory to defending it.
The poorer troops, now supplemented by equally ill-trained reservist are being driven back. This doesn't matter. They are there simply to ensure Ukrainian resources are used up.
Even if a dozen Russians get killed for every Ukranian, it is a good deal as far as Putin is concerned.
There will doubtless soon be a Russian counter-offensive to the present Ukrainian advance.
If this theory holds water what is left of the Ukrainian army will find itself with supply and communication lines cut, facing the superior Russian and battle-hardened separatist armies.
In addition, Belarus with his large army will invade from the north, forcing the Ukrainians to fight their way back north to defend Kiev etc.
Well, you did ask!
