The Soviet Union's military deaths in WW2 were in millions partly because of a strategy of frontal assaults taking advantage of numerical superiority on the front lines.In WW1, the populations of France and UK which were about 8% higher than Ukraine's today suffered tremendous military deaths. The population figures for France and UK before WW1 were 39 millions and 41 millions, while wartime military deaths were 1.3 millions and 0.8 million. By comparison, Ukraine's population was 37 millions ex Donbas and Crimea before the Russian invasion, while Ukraine's military deaths were about 80,000 in late 2023.Given these figures, it isn't surprising Ukraine's population and military support the war even though the military are naturally war weary after prolonged front line service. The relatively low military death rates should allow Ukraine to fight on for many years to come provided the US keeps sending military aid or Europe replaces reduced US aid if a potential Trump presidency were to cut back on aid. It would be appalling if the democracies failed to maintain aid to Ukraine which costs them a tiny percentage of national incomes.What motivated France to accept frightful WW1 casualties? It was mainly France's loss of Alsace Lorraine in the Franco Prussian War in 1870 which is similar to Ukraine's loss of Crimea. As shown in surveys, the French people's deep humiliation at this loss made them ignore casualties.Ukraine's similar attachment to Crimea and the Donbas should prove a powerful motivation to fight to the finish for victory.</blockquote>
