>significantly better evac
Evac is difficult for everyone due to the drone threat.
>why ukraine is currently winning the attritional war, simply way WAY more of them survive battles
Proven personnel losses are similar for each side.
>retreat from untenable situations
Ukrainian settlements get semi-encircled and only then do the Ukrainians try to retreat.
>generally live to fight another day and build more experience
They took over 150,000 deaths and over 600,000 total casualties. Most of their replacements today are people who are forcibly mobilized.
>apathy towards losses
They are not apathetic towards losses, they use a lot more precision weapons than before and do small unit assaults. They usually semi-encircle settlements now instead of attacking head-on. They keep the offensive pressure up along the front because with similar casualties and Ukraine having 5 times less people, many of Ukraine's positions have become undermanned. They advance in one place which causes Ukraine to bring in reserves, then they advance in a different place which forces Ukraine to shift their declining reserves.
