Go back a couple of days when I linked to a text on the war demographics. Most soldiers dying are ethnic minorities that are not "Russian", and of these minorities most are Islamic. Recruiting them and sending them into the meat grinder allows the Kremlin to shoot two birds with one shot, since the ethnic Russians' birth rate is below 0.8, and that of these minorities between around 3.5 and 5.3, something in that range. The Islamisation in parts of Russia ais seen as a problem since long time in Moscow. The unwanted Islamic minorities get thinned out a bit, their young males that are the trouble makers (Gunnar Heinsohn, youthbulge theory). The native Russians in the big metropoles get saved, the draw does not catch them as much as those living in the rural abandoned places that nobody has ever heard of.
~70% of the population in Russia is native Russian, declining, ~30% are ~130 ethnic minorities, a relative majority of these are Islamic, and their birth rates explode. A little bloodshed amongst the latter is very welcomed, from a Russian perspective.
States are the coldest of all cold monsters. Stalinism in action again.
The longterm demographic perspectives over the next decades are not relevant in this war.
