yes what russia has lost from this war is far far greater than the casualties and equipment losses they have had in Ukraine .
The strenghtening of NATO through the 2 countries joining , through increased defence sending and through increasing weapons manufacturing facilities in Europe has sounded the death knell for russia ever taking back say , the Baltic states as putin had wished . Then the loss of trade and dependance on China equally as damaging to russia . The loss of rpeutation for russia, their military prowess and of russ weaponry .
The war has also exacerbated russias demographic problem and ruined their economy ....some try to deny the latter but 18% official interest rates and high inflation insist it is ruined .
from day one dopes here have been saying russia are winning ....just a bit longer ....only just getting started ......30 months of all out war aagainst a much less weaponised nation and not one russ objective acheived .
