That's not what a Phyrric victory is.Oh Wow. you think they already Lost and Ukraine is wining? Ok.
A Phyrric victory is still a victory. If everyone in Ukraine is killed and every structure leveled to the ground The Russians still gain all of ukraine territory all of its natural resources,all of its rivers , all of its ports , all of its strategic potential and locations , all of its farm lands. creates a 700 mile buffer zone between itself and NATO.
Russia invaded Ukraine for national security purposes, Not for territorial gains , the elimination of the NATO threat is itself a victory , that was the goal all along
Call it what you will, they won.
If the *Russian* Military is destroyed in the process, *that's* a Phyrric victory.
What Russia has undoubtedly lost already is respect on the world stage. They used to be considered the second most powerful military on the planet.
Now most countries consider them a paper tiger. Even countries that hate the west have certainly lost respect for the Russian military.
