I don't follow the situation very closely, but I'm hesitant to believe this at face value.
It's not terribly believable given that Russia enjoys roughly 10:1 artillery advantage and around 80% of the casualties come from artillery fire. Also, Cavoli just admitted two weeks ago that Russian army is now stronger which is completely at odds with the above statement

They have alwaya portrayed it as a stalemate and Russia being in a bad position but the truth is while the war has definitely been more 2 sided than expected thats because its a proxy war vs the USA and Russia has still been winning.
Russias tactics in Ukraine reflect their tactics in Syria too. They dont just charge in and to a blitz. They tend to take things slow and encircle their enemy. Which you see them doing as they advance now. So the speed of their advance doesnt really tell us much.
Im sure Russia has taken casualties but i highly doubt any numbers from the US or Ukronazis. and those casualties will be balanced out by the number of new recruits who are now veterans of a real war. Their military is the only one thats fought a real war in the modern age. Experience means a lot.
Russian “meat wave” was always moldy, recycled bullshit.
