Russia suffered the greatest loss in personnel, weapons hardware in army, air force and navy unparalleled in 21st. century.
Even before the war, Russia was suffering shrinking population and Putin does not care less so long as he hold onto the job long enough and die on the job.
Edit: I am informed that "modern" is too broad a word so I am changing it to 21st. century to better define what I meant.
