My god! I cannot imagine being Putin. I'm not Russian, but I cannot imagine being reaponsible for this many casualties of my own own people, and having the mentality to keep going.
I'm afraid if something is disturbing his sleep, it's not the casualties, but the prospect of him personally losing this war. So if he needs to send another million, they are but cheers pieces. "Women will birth new ones" is the popular saying in that insane asylum.
I think it would be much easier to end the war if putin was dead, because his successor didn't start this war. It's not "their" war.
It's not even like Russia is getting much out of this. It isn't like they already conquered Ukraine and are a good way through Finland (pre-NATO). At least then you could argue the sacrifice is for something...
