If you take at face value Russia's claim of taking Bakhmut, then it has just killed 0.077% of its population (100k) to conquer 0.00024% (41.2sqkm) of its territory. In other words, if the current loss rate sustains, Russia will only need around 1 billion of its people killed to…

@wartranslated The battle for Bakhmut took longer than Stalingrad. Can someone calculate how many years they would need?
