Sure sure... Putler is all about care and people, everyone knows that. If you want to know about military and other loses you should ask the Ruzzian Government about how many soldiers have died, etc... - spoiler alert - they will not tell you.
I think Ukraine has attacked a legitimate target, that is for sure, but also kicked the Ruzzian Chief Psychos in their Crimean little balls. The equipment destroyed is quite expensive and even difficult to replace, unless you take one of the ones defending Moscow to replace it (he he). It is a show of effectiveness and the ability to undertake a quite difficult covert ops right in the anus of Ruzzia.
The thing that all five areas of the now-Russian-Federation areas have in common is that they _voted_ overwhelmingly to go with 'Putler' rather than the Bandarites when they finally got a chance to vote without the threat of summary execution at the hands of Azov hanging over their heads. And that was before the Nulandist Ziocons and their clueless useful-idiot Nazi minions started rounding up kids for child-soldier duty.
I'm guessing that 'Putler' would probably agree to a re-vote if people question the 'free-and-fair' nature of the last elections, but I don't know the man so I couldn't say. When he accepts the unconditional surrender from Ukraine we'll just have to see if one of the things he does is a re-vote. Probably he wouldn't do it for the Galicia because he's afraid Russia would 'win' and nobody in their right mind would want anything to do with those cretins. Best to shove them over to the Poles if possible.
