So overall, this is what you'd expect to see after two weeks of moderate intensity fighting. The Russians have taken fewer losses than the Ukrainians because they are more competent, and they have the strategic initiative. As you said, most of the Russian losses have taken place in the north because they are reservists with less training and obsolescent equipment, and they are also facing the bulk of the Ukrainian army.

It seems that the basics of war haven't really changed much since WW2. Mass, the concentration of force, armored thrusts, flanking, encirclement, artillery barrages...If Guderian was teleported to the current day and told of the war, he would understand most of it.
