It's a MASSIVE difference if you got a solidly working army and fill certain gaps with volunteers - or to be with nothing left but newbies you force or lure to go there as your main fighting force with maybe some veterans here and there.
You also can't just train new people in a few weeks to forge a working, modern army out of them, even if you could give them the equipment (what they can't in the needed numbers, Zelensky's list is a joke and simply wants NATO to join in with pretty much all available land forces regarding equiment).
Modern warfare is horrendous for humans. You can near to never see the enemy, even when it comes to the shorter range, 'direct contact' combat zone with rifles, not even talking about all the warfare around artillery, rockets, drones and so on.
The hopeless insanity was clear, when the very first thing Zelensky ordered was, that just everyone should put up a rifle and make molotov cocktails. What an insane order, giving flashbacks to Hitler's "Volkssturm" in the last months of his regime. Started also with the order to just force everyone male from 16-60 who wasn't fighting yet, into the Wehrmacht.
And in the end it's not the incompetence and so on that is devastating.
Chaos, friendly fire (which is even still a danger in professional armies) and of course the fact, that you won't exactly get the smartest and most holding back people with such orders, will cause much more random damage and death than 'good', even for the planed cause.
Hitler's Volkssturm for exampl was a disaster. Training and equipment was awful, they were barely more than cannonfodder, but instead committed various atrocities and warcrimes, because especially the most fanatic of course fought till the very end and all led by the SS, shooting the 'traitors' who would not follow along.
Untrained, underequipped (still deadly armed) quasi civilians, driven by propaganda and fear - what could go wrong.
