Russian military history is full of wars where they lose obscene numbers of soldiers. They don't care if they lose a lot of men as long as they achieve their objectives... most militaries don't outside of the western world tbh. Look at Vietnam and Korea, we killed MILLIONS of them in both wars to less than 100,000 dead for the US in both wars combined and all we got out of it was a strategic withdrawal(aka an L, not like. KO/TKO L, but like a technical decision L) and a stalemate respectively. Did you accomplish your goal is the measure of military success not how many soldiers you killed.
