The Londoners and German populace in WWII had it FAR worse, yet their resolve was not shaken in the least. Ukrainians aren't soft American Blue-staters who freak out over a virus with a mortality rate under 1%.
"Winning" in Ukraine looks like hundreds of dead Russians every day and thousands of square miles won back in a few months while oil prices and deliveries dwindle. The reality on the ground is that so far, Russia has been exposed as a corrupt and weak military force that is not gaining traction anywhere while the Russian economy crumbles at the core.
I'm not clear why anyone would bring Covid into this conversation, but since you did, Ukraine has 110,640 reported Covid deaths to date, which is roughly on par with civilian and military casualties for the war to date. Russia has 392,775. Make of that what you will.
