I think russia will last to see 1 million casualties before they collapse. But my worries are about if they do collapse, could the next government be even more hostile?

If it follows the pattern of last time, a portion the outer layer of oblasts will break away into their own nations. I welcome the sovereign nations of Belgorod, Bryansk, and Rostov as they throw off the yoke of oppression and seek peace and connection with the wider world.

It's not just me right: We've definitely seen a systematic fall in daily casualties from the ≈ 2000 we were seeing a little while back, right?

I'm wondering what this means: Is russia slowing down the pace of attacks? They haven't been making any gains that would suggest the defence is faltering as far as I can tell, and it's not like they're suddenly using more armour, so the only explanation I can see is that fewer people are dying because fewer are assaulting in the first place.

Perhaps Russia ran out of North Koreans.

Yeah. It seemed they were pushing hard before Trump got in office. My guess is they ran out of the extra steam and have reverted to a more 'standard' pace.

Vehicle/Fuel Tank kills (and often artillery) remain consistently high still.
