#5  Not sure it matters how many Ukrainian casualties. They can either die fighting or under occupation. Not much of a choice, so they'll keep it up so long as the weapons keep coming.

Russia, on the other hand, is working against a clock. At some point they'll lose enough men that continuing the war becomes politically untenable. That is going to be a huge number, but it's still attainable.
