The super majority of Russian soldiers that are dying are volunteers. Russia has not fully mobilized yet for political reasons. They're getting people to fight by paying them extremely well instead.

That's also why Russia is increasingly recruiting soldiers from outside Russia too: soldiers from countries that are more poor than Russia are cheaper.

These people don't deserve our pity. They volunteered to murder Ukrainians for money and died for it. The world is a better place without them.

"all lives are equal" is "defund the police" level nonsense.
