NATO and Ukraine said Russia had 40K loses.

Russia has suffered up to 40,000 casualties on Ukraine battlefield, claims Nato​

https://news.yahoo.com/russian-dead-casualties-ukraine-war-nato-171928734.html"Russia may have suffered between 30,000 and 40,000 battlefield casualties in Ukraine, according to a senior Nato military officer.

The military officer, speaking on condition of anonymity under ground rules set by Nato, added between 7,000 and 15,000 Russians had been killed since it invaded its neighbour on 24 February.

The estimate of those killed is based on information from the Ukrainian government, indications from Russia, and open-source data, Associated Press reported."

7k to 15k is a big range estimate.

From Russian Ministry of Defence! Real news!!
In an announcement that appeared to indicate more limited goals, the Russian Defence Ministry said a first phase of its operation was mostly complete and it would now focus on "liberating" the breakaway eastern Donbass region.

"The combat potential of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been considerably reduced, which ... makes it possible to focus our core efforts on achieving the main goal, the liberation of Donbass," said Sergei Rudskoi, head of the Russian General Staff's Main Operational Directorate.

That's gonna enrage the Russian ultra nationalists. All these sanctions, all these economic damage, all these death and loss of equipment, for a lackluster landgrab which will not be recognized by the international community...

Even if Russia backs off right now, the sanctions are likely here to stay,

Seems like dmg consolidation to me
The million dollar question is.. was it worth it? All the losses in terms of lives & military equipment, economical sanctions, citizens anger and suffering, world impression of Russia
