@santhosh4474 Offensives against defended positions are difficult and expensive. The Russian strategy seems to be to do the bare minimum of attacking to keep the line they want and wait for the Ukrainians to waste their strength battering against good Russian defences. Once the Ukrainians have burned their reserves Russia can start taking ground at an acceptable cost. That's why judging the progress of the war merely by looking at the map is misleading. You also have to try to estimate casualties.

@Guvnor100 Yes definitely higher conscription in the least Ukrainian parts of Ukraine - the Carpathians too apparently. But the actual volunteers and pre-war regulars? Those are the storm troopers and the fire fighters. Heavy casualties in those kind of formations. Case in point - 47th brigade - pretty elite, best equipment but now mainly destroyed over the past two months (so I understand)

@santhosh4474 I think Ukraine probably isn't all that far off. Probably most of their pre-war army has already become casualties. They're obviously struggling to find new volunteers and we've seen videos of very young and very old guys getting pulled off the street. Just like Russian VDV casualties have been heavy, Ukrainian casualties are going to be especially high amongst the more elite and aggressive formations.
