Plus Russia had 8.7 million military deaths in WW2, so this is really just a small military operation for them.

The current casualty numbers are something like 5x the total Soviet losses over a decade in Afghanistan. That conflict was ultimately deeply unpopular and destabilizing for the Soviet Union, so I'm not sure I'd agree with characterizing it as small change for them.

Yes, and that was when the Kremlin had control of the entire USSR.

Also, Russia was having major demographic problems even before they started their barbaric invasion of their peaceful neighbor.
