Worth noting that Russian KIA figures don't generally include PMC troops, and we know that the KIA:WIA ratio is a lot less favourable, there.
Why would he stop there?.
For reasons we can't see, Putin is different from every other strongman in history. Not a one of which defeated their neighbours and said "You know what? I'm sated. My lust for power only goes so far and I'd like to take a break."
im not bothered if they stop fighting or carry on. they are getting beat is all im saying.

It’s pretty thin to base the claims you have made on that article which is based on a 17 page leaked document that may or may not be genuine. The article itself uses loads of caveats.Putin’s plan for a new Russian Empire includes both Ukraine and Belarus
A leaked document detailing Russia's plans to absorb Belarus highlights the scale of Vladimir Putin's imperial ambitions and provides insights into the true objectives behind the invasion of Ukraine, writes Taras Kuzio.
So the likes of Finland and Norway are unsuccessful states, to say nothing of the United States and Japan. Not persuaded you've given this matter the consideration it merits
Was this the only source for your view about a Russia that won’t stop invading its neighbours?Putin’s plan for a new Russian Empire includes both Ukraine and Belarus

Somewhere, a sweepstake winner is doing cartwheels.
Speaking of Finland i just read this article from a Finnish publication (you will need Google translate or an equivalent). They very much have their own ideas/outlook wrt to Russia and it seems to be pretty much gloves off:

This would be from the same Atlantic council that promoted ttip.Putin’s plan for a new Russian Empire includes both Ukraine and Belarus

Yeh we're speaking of Finland not being a failed state. What's your view on that?Speaking of Finland i just read this article from a Finnish publication (you will need Google translate or an equivalent). They very much have their own ideas/outlook wrt to Russia and it seems to be pretty much gloves off:
Suomi ei ole rajoittanut Ukrainalle antamiensa aseiden käyttöä â myös Naton mukaan Ukraina voi iskeä Venäjän maaperällä
Viron tuleva puolustusvoimien komentaja sanoi Ylelle, että Ukrainan pitää voida viedä sota Venäjälle länsimaiden antamilla aseilla.
Not a failed state obviously but I merely though it was an interesting read, particularly as they are one of Russia's next door neighbours.

The overall narrative in that piece is pretty fair I think, other than it paints the west as an inactive party merely standing back and observing, but crucially the piece only mentioned Belarus ( already aligned with Russia) and Ukraine.... Doesn't actually mention any other countries, or did I miss something ( quite possible I did tbh, my eyes are blurry)Putin’s plan for a new Russian Empire includes both Ukraine and Belarus

In the beginning of this conflict you posted all sorts of stuff up. Pictures of dogs. Stuff about Orcs. Now you are reduced to the above.
I think that tells us far more about you than anything anyone else could say about you.
What do you expect given their Nazi alliances and attitudes?Speaking of Finland i just read this article from a Finnish publication (you will need Google translate or an equivalent). They very much have their own ideas/outlook wrt to Russia and it seems to be pretty much gloves off:

Evidence please or STFU
I know what you mean but it's still imperialist action in my book ...
Tbf Zalenski has gone with the lowest number he can get away with...sort of understandable..but can't see why NATO would have been so far wide of the mark last year
You could try ex PM Medvedev, the Baltics belong to Russia.
I don't think I'd trust any article about him which didn't mention Medvedev's stint as Russian president. Or that he'd been russia pm from 2012-20. Oh, and counter to your article's claim Medvedev wasn't Russian pm 2000-2004, it was mikhail khasyanov. Why do you think it's a reliable piece?You could try ex PM Medvedev, the Baltics belong to Russia.
