I really suspect a number of the Russian soldiers don't have their heart in this fight. I have a friend who lived in the southwest corner of Russia and says that in her opinion there are 2 things to keep in mind. Russian speaking people are treated really badly in Ukraine and there is a strong desire to free the states of Donetsk and Luhansk. They still consider Ukrainians to be part of the Russian family. As a result, they have no desire to kill Ukrainians. She also told me something surprising. She called the Ukrainians Nazis. After some discussion, It turned out at least she (but she says everyone) calls anyone who hates Russians a Nazi. That was illuminating to me since I suddenly realized they don't use the term Nazi in its strictest definitional sense that we would

Soviet army couldn't handle Afghanistan resistance and the Russian Army is a shadow of the Soviet army while facing coordinated resistance.
