50,000? Russia's own count as of October 2023 is 88,000+, and they're almost certainly under-reporting their losses for propaganda purposes - just as much as Ukraine is over-reporting Russian losses.

Gee, it's not like Russia was bragging about how they'll totally destroy Ukraine each time they roll in some of their newest "cutting-edge".
Like the time they bragged about how they newest T-14 supertank would change the tides of the war:
The T-14 has an unmanned turret, and its crews remotely control the armaments, but Western intel says it has problems.

Or how US Patriot systems downed Russia's brand new Kinzhal hypersonic missile, unveiled in 2018 and designed to "overcome all existing air defense systems":
Reporting of Ukraine’s shootdown of Russian hypersonics tells only a partial truth. Russian hypersonic missiles do not yet pose the dire threat to Western interests.

Or how Ukraine, a country with no navy, sank Russia's Atlant class Moskva flagship, which Russia claimed was "the most powerful ship in the Black Sea":
Russia's oil revenues briefly increased after the war began by taking advantage of how oil prices fluctuated drastically after Russia's invasion in February 2022, but since sanctions fully kicked in by December 2022, the International Energy Agency estimates Russia's oil revenues have fallen up to 40% off their monthly averages in 2023 (25% in January 2023, 40% in February 2023).
According to the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Russia's GDP, imports, and exports have all been rapidly declining since 2022, with a noticeable decline of 2.1 in their national GDP in 2022.
The European Union, Australia, and other G7 countries have seized $322 billion of the Russian Central Bank's assets, and 70% of the country's assets are sanctioned, meaning Russia will have to pay extremely high premiums to smuggle goods through third-parties like China and Iran. Paying more for the goods you buy is the opposite of "doing well financially".
Don't take my word for it, this information was released by the Council for the European Nation:

Did you think no one would fact check this fanfiction you pulled out of your ass? That might work in Russia, one of the countries with the highest rate of fetal alcohol syndrome in the world, but the rest of the world isn't as gullible.
