        Definitely it depends.
        On the other hand, have you seen all the nazi-like people and organisations from Russia? Or, have you seen e.g. people protesting with blank posters in Moscow and being taken by the police for it? Or have you listened to what Putin says about Ukraine? Or Kadyrov?

        And, well, do you have some sources to back things that you’ve just written? Kids and nazi salute, soldiers refusing to fight, hopeless positions without proper equipment or support. Because I can say just the same, but related to Russian Federation. It’s a war, one country invaded another one which is defending, it’s even more understandable that the defending country may not be prepared for an attack, so I don’t see unprepared army as a big thing.

    it’s astonishing just how quickly the northern front of this war has collapsed for russia. most of this was stuff they’ve been in control of since the early days of the war to the point where they have ostensible administrations set up; you’d think by now they’d also have it in a defensible position.
