Is this what 14:1 looks like?

If Russia loses 14 men for every 1 Ukrainian, then why is Ukraine vanning people en-masse whereas Russia relies almost entirely on volunteers for the war? Russia's population is only 3.5 times Ukraine's.

ukraine has lost 1.7 million soldiers
there's a reason why russian men can leave russia with no problems but ukrainians get kidnapped from the streets

then how come they asked for tens of thousands of north koreans and use muslim,indian and african mercenaries?

Training. Giving your soldiers experience in modern warfare, same reason they only deployed in Russian territory, no legal issues.

What you fucking faggots fail to understand is that war has become so neutered, that people make a big deal out of wounded and missing.
Back in the day this war would have had MILLIONS killed. But no, there's like 70k dead combined and the rest are wounded and missing, and somehow that's a big deal because of the total combined numbers. War is a joke compared to what it once was.

As far as I know, Norks were only used for a small period on a small part of the front (Kursk), and I guess the main reason was because Kim wanted his troops to get some battle experience

I haven't heard on Africans etc being used in significant numbers at all

If the Russians do rely heavily on Norks, Africans, etc, doesn't that mean losses of actual Russians are a lot lower?

Something like 12,000 Nork soldiers in Kursk for a brief period of time is not a lot in a war that involves like a million soldiers on each side and in which some claim that Russian losses exceed 1 million

If the Russians do rely heavily on Norks, Africans, etc, doesn't that mean losses of actual Russians are not so large?
